Lamellated corpuscle of Vater, of Herbst, or of Pacini; one of the small oval bodies in the skin of the fingers, in the mesentery, and elsewhere, formed of concentric layers of connective tissue with a soft core in which the axis cylinder runs, splitting up into a number of fibrils which terminate in bulbous enlargements.
