The nerve terminal contains many small vesicles (membrane-enclosed structures) about 50 nm in diameter, each of which contains 5,000–10,000 molecules of acetylcholine. Mitochondria are also present, providing a source of energy in the form of ATP.

What are Pacinian corpuscles?

A Pacinian corpuscle is an onion-shaped structure of nonneural (connective) tissue built up around the nerve ending that reduces the mechanical sensitivity of the nerve terminal itself.

Where are Pacinian corpuscles?

Pacinian corpuscles are large encapsulated endings located in the subcutaneous tissue (and more deeply in interosseous membranes and mesenteries of the gut). These receptors differ from Meissner's corpuscles in their morphology, distribution, and response threshold.
