Draft:Bulbs of kraus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Previously thought to be sensory cold receptors, krause corpuscles, also known as bulbs, are encapsulated sensory corpuscles found in the skin and mucous membranes. From a structural perspective, they are found in glabrous skin and consist of axon terminals that are covered in Schwann-like cells that are housed in a thin fibroblastic capsule.
