twig, ending in capillaries, which form loops in some of the
intercapsular spaces, and one penetrates to the central capsule.
b. The fibrous tissue of the stalk. n. Nerve tube advancing to
the central capsule, there losing its white matter, and

a tuberculated enlargement. |Gray's||subject #233 1060|
|Pacinian capsule labeled at bottom.| The Pacinian corpuscle is
oval shaped and approximately 1 mm in length. The entire
corpuscle is wrapped by a layer of connective tissue. It has 20
to 60 concentric lamellae composed of fibrous connective tissue
and fibroblasts, separated by gelatinous material. The lamellae
are very thin, flat, modified Schwann cells. In the center of
the corpuscle is the inner bulb, a fluid-filled cavity with a
single afferent unmyelinated nerve endi
