2. Physiology.

a. Any minute body (usually of microscopic size), forming a more or less distinct part of the organism.Often with defining attributes, or specific additions (chiefly in plural), as blood corpuscles (see also 2b), lymph corpuscles; gustatory corpuscles or taste, tactile or touch corpuscles. Malpighian corpuscles: certain minute bodies in the substance of the spleen ( splenic corpuscle), and of the kidney. Pacinian corpuscle, corpuscle of Vater: minute bulbous bodies enclosing the ends of nerves in various parts of the body, esp. in the fingers and toes.
