Definition of corpuscle in English:

corpuscle

noun ˈkɔːpʌs(ə)lˈkɔrˌpəsəl

Biology

1A minute body or cell in an organism, especially a red or white cell in the blood of vertebrates.
Example sentencesExamples
- Arterioles have a relatively thick muscular wall in comparison to their luminal diameter; the lumen of the smallest arterioles can accommodate about three to four red blood corpuscles.
- There was absolutely no way to cure it and the ill persons didn't show the distinct signs of the other kinds - no overproduction of white blood corpuscles, no attacks of high fever and no spleen tumors at all.
- It is composed of: red corpuscles, white cells, platelets, and blood plasma.
- For a time, all you can see are blurred shapes swimming around on a glass slide, then suddenly everything becomes clear and you are studying a blood corpuscle or a cancerous cell.
- But the result of the treatment can affect the blood corpuscles and may even cause death.
1. 1.1historical A minute particle regarded as the basic constituent of matter or light.
  these subparticles at the centre of an antimony corpuscle are fluid and volatile
  Example sentencesExamples
  Boyle reconciled the two aspects of his position by assuming that chemical corpuscles were composed of atoms at a deeper level.
  He used the term corpuscles to describe the negatively charged particles that we now call electrons.
  To explain some of his observations Newton had to argue that the corpuscles of light created waves in the aether.
  He argued that matter was composed of corpuscles which themselves were differently built up of different configurations of primary particles.
  Neither Arago nor any other scientist could demonstrate that light must be either a stream of emitted corpuscles or a wave motion.

corpuscular

adjective kɔːˈpʌskjʊlə

In normocytic anemias, the mean corpuscular volume is within defined normal limits, but the hemoglobin and hematocrit are decreased.
Example sentencesExamples
- For example, the corpuscular hypothesis implied that swifter rays would be less refracted by a prism than slower ones because they were exposed for a shorter time to the prism's influence.
- When the corpuscular theory of matter was developed and accepted (which could explain but not predict chemical changes in terms of transmutations), this belief was strengthened.
- High mean corpuscular volume, which is often a sign of either vitamin B12 or folate deficiency, has been found to be predictive for a risk of colorectal polyps in men.
- This complete blood count was done on an instrument which employs impedance and pulse editing technology in measuring the mean corpuscular volume.

Origin

Mid 17th century: from Latin corpusculum 'small body', diminutive of corpus.
