Pachionian Body

Pacinian corpuscles, also known as lamellar corpuscles, are among the most sensitive mechanoreceptors in the body. They are located in the subcutaneous tissue and in the connective tissue of internal organs and respond to touch, especially to changes in pressure.

Pachionian corpuscles are nerve endings surrounded by an inner bulb formed by Schwann cells and an outer bulb formed by concentric connective tissue plates of the “onion” layer of skin. This complex structure provides high sensitivity to mechanical stimulation.

Pachion's corpuscles are especially sensitive to changes in pressure, which allows the body to react very sensitively to various vibrations. Because of this high sensitivity, Pachionian corpuscles play an important role in the body, helping to detect the shape and texture of objects, as well as to sense vibrations and other mechanical influences.

Pachionian corpuscles are part of the arachnoid granulation, which also includes other types of mechanoreceptors. Arachnoid granulation is located in various organs and tissues, and is an important part of the body's sensory system.

Thus, Pachionian corpuscles represent an important element of the sensory system of our body, providing high sensitivity to mechanical stimuli and playing an important role in determining the shape and texture of objects.



Pachionian bodies are granulations formed by the arachnoid membrane of the brain in the cerebellum. They are clusters of hyaline fibers covered with an arachnoid membrane. These formations occur normally in some people without causing pathological changes. However, in most cases their presence is associated with chronic inflammatory processes in the brain. Therefore, the detection of Pachionov bodies may indicate arachnoiditis or other diseases of the central nervous system.



Lamellar corpuscles (or Pacinian corpuscles) are one of the types of mechanoreceptors that are located in the subcutaneous area and in connective tissue. They respond to pressure and provide high sensitivity to pressure changes in the body. These receptors play an important role in the perception of touch, pressure and vibration.

Pacinian corpuscles are formed by nerve endings that are surrounded by an inner bulb of Schwann cells and an outer bulb of connective tissue concentric plates. Due to this structure, the lamellar bodies are highly sensitive and can respond to the slightest changes in pressure.

Most importantly, Pacinian corpuscles play a key role in regulating muscle tone and body movement. Touching the skin or applying pressure to certain areas of the body can cause a reflex muscle contraction, which leads to certain body movements. This allows the body to adapt to different conditions and ensure safety and comfort.

In addition, lamellar bodies are involved in the processes of wound healing and tissue regeneration. They can stimulate the release of growth factors and other biologically active substances that promote the repair of damaged tissue.

In general, Pacinian corpuscles are important sensory receptors that play an important role in ensuring the safety and comfort of the body, as well as in the regulation of body movements and tissue regeneration processes.
