    9.9   Sensory corpuscle in the dermis Version française
Section of thick hairless skin.

In the connective tissue of the dermis next to the epidermis (E), the elongated segmented body (arrows) corresponds to a Meissner’s corpuscle involved in the sense of touch.

Encapsulated by connective tissue, the corpuscle is composed of modified Schwann cells between which one or more axons (not identifiable) follow a wavy path.

Stain: H–­­E
