Comparative study on the distribution of Pacinian corpuscles in the pancreas
This study confirmed the presence of PCs in a small number of healthy humans and some animal pancreata. The number, distribution characteristics, and morphology of PCs in the pancreata of animals and humans are quite different; however, their structures and immunohistochemical profiles are similar. The presence of PCs in the normal human pancreas is also a mystery, and the physiological role of PCs in the human pancreas requires further clarification.
