  Pacinian corpuscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A Pacinian corpuscle is a structure that functions as a mechanoreceptor.
The pacinian corpuscle is ovoid shaped, approximately 1 mm in length and consists of 20 to 60 concentric lamellae composed of fibrous connective tissue and fibroblasts, separated by gelatinous material.
The entire corpuscle is wrapped by a layer of connective tissue.

 Renal corpuscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A renal corpuscle is the initial filtering component of a nephron in the kidney.
A renal corpuscle is also known as a Malpighian corpuscle, named after Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian physician and biologist.
This name is not used widely anymore, probably to avoid confusion with a Malpighian corpuscle in the spleen.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dynamism
Atoms of different chemical elements are spheres of positive electrification enclosing a number of corpuscles, all homogeneous, having identical properties, and negatively electrified.
Some physicists still attribute to these corpuscles a real, though infinitesimal, extension; they admit a nucleus or carrier of the electric charge, and this nucleus alone is what we call matter.
But electricity itself possesses mass and inertia; or rather the mechanical inertia of matter is identical with the self-induction of the electric current, and the mass results from the velocity of the current.

 Nikon MicroscopyU: Confocal Image Gallery - Pacinian Corpuscle
When the politician is advised to go "squeeze some flesh" or shake hands with the potential constituents, it is the Pacinian corpuscles, somatosensory receptors of the hands and feet, that are able to detect character as expressed by a firm, confident handshake, an indecisive loose grip, or an over-zealous bone-crusher.
A feature of both human and non-human primates, the Pacinian corpuscle is a mechanoreceptor that responds to pressure or any kind of mechanical stimulus that causes deformation of the corpuscle surrounding the single afferent nerve fiber.
If the pressure is released, the corpuscle as a whole will resume its original shape and the nerve ending is again deformed, signaling the end of the hand or foot pressure.

 EXQUISITE CORPUSCLE SCHEDULE
This group project "The Exquisite Corpuscle" is a twist on "The Exquisite Corpse", a game played by the Surrealists.
For this project, our title "The Exquisite Corpuscle" comes from the initial painting by Frank Wu, which you can see after you've handed in your project for your six-week time slot.
If you're starting out one of the three tracks, your only guidance is the phrase "Exquisite Corpuscle," which you can use as an inspiration or muse, but you don't necessarily have to work that particular phrase into the story or use it as a title, it's just a starting point.

 "A Radical Corpuscle" by Charles Hoy Fort
A white corpuscle, of venerable and intellectual appearance, dug a claw into the lining of an artery and paused.
The venerable corpuscle might have clung where he was, all day without interfering with traffic, were it not for a peculiarity of the corpuscles.
And the fate of the wise old corpuscle would have been a fate common enough in the tragedies of philosophy, were it not that a few disciples hurried him away, seeking refuge in a tiny vein far from battle, struggle, and selfishness.

 Quantum Physics: Niels Bohr: Explaining Bohr's Model of the Atom. Niels (Neils) Bohr Biography, Quotes, Pictures
This fact suggested to me the idea that electrons too could not be considered simply as particles, but that frequency (wave properties) must be assigned to them also.
In other words, in both cases we must assume the existence of corpuscles accompanied by waves.
But corpuscles and waves cannot be independent, since, according to Bohr, they are complementary to each other; consequently it must be possible to establish a certain parallelism between the motion of a corpuscle and the propagation of the wave which is associated with it.
