Meissner Taurus

Meissner corpuscles are small formations on the surface of muscle fibers that were discovered in the 19th century by the German anatomist and physiologist Hans Meissner. They are collections of mitochondria and other organelles that provide muscles with energy for contraction.

Meissner's corpuscles were first described in 1868 when Meissner studied frog muscles. He discovered that when muscles contract, these corpuscles become more visible and bright. Meissner suggested that these bodies play an important role in providing muscles with energy.

Today we know that Meissner's corpuscles are the site of energy production in muscles. They contain mitochondria, which convert glucose into energy needed for muscle contraction. In addition, Meissner's corpuscles are also involved in the regulation of muscle tone and the rate of muscle contraction.

The study of Meissner's corpuscles is important for understanding the mechanisms of muscle function and their regulation. It could also help develop new treatments for muscular dystrophy, Parkinson's disease and other muscle-impaired diseases.



Meissner's body is a pathology in the nervous system that is associated with damage to the nuclei of the cranial nerves in the brain stem. Also known as septic trepanation myelopathy.

Meissner-Gowers syndrome or Missiner syndrome is the name of a rare lesion of the cranial nerves in various pathologies: tumors of various parts of the brain, hydrocephalus,
