a A longitudinal section of a Pacini (type II). Dark purple indicates the cylindrical nerve fibers in the corpuscle, which is surrounded by layers of flat cells (×400). b A Pacini corpuscle formed in a botryoidal cluster, paralleling to long axis of ligaments (cross section). Hollow arrow indicates the dendritic nerve fibers (×400). c A blood vessel in nerve fiber of Pacini corpuscle (hollow arrow). Nerve fiber ends at purple-dyed oval-shaped corpuscle (solid arrow) (×400)
