The authors compared the ultrastructure of lamellar complexes in the penis skin of the green monkey and in the woman's clitoris skin. In the green monkey the lamellar complexes consist of a maximum of 5 lamellae of Schwann cells, their greatest width is about 4.5 microm. The interlamellar spaces are filled with fine filamentous material. In the woman the lamellar complexes consist of a maximum of 7 lamellae, the interlamellar spaces are narrower than in the first case and filled with collagenous fibrils. Their maximum width is about 6.5 microm. The findings thus support the view that the lamellar complexes of glomerular corpuscles are morphologically and functionally similar to other simple lamellar corpuscles. The glomerular corpuscles contain also some non myelinated thin nerve fibers. Therefore for these corpuscles an additional (unclear) function can be considered.
作者比较了绿猴阴茎皮肤和女性阴蒂皮肤中板层复合体的超微结构。在绿猴中，板层复合体最多由5层施万细胞组成，其最大宽度约为4.5微米。层间间隙充满细纤维状物质。在女性中，板层复合体最多由7层组成，层间间隙比第一种情况更窄，充满胶原纤维。其最大宽度约为6.5微米。因此，这些发现支持了肾小球小体的板层复合体在形态和功能上与其他简单板层小体相似的观点。肾小球小体还含有一些无髓细神经纤维。因此，对于这些小体，可以考虑一种额外的（尚不清楚的）功能。
