We examined cross-sectional areas of Meissner's corpuscles to evaluate the changes in their morphology and density that occur during the aging process. Our study of 10 tissue specimens from the right index finger pulp of 10 males, showed that both the size and the number of Meissner's corpuscles decrease with age. We claim greater accuracy in our data thanks to the use of a new sectioning method, namely parallel sectioning of the skin.
我们检查了梅斯纳小体的横截面积,以评估其在衰老过程中形态和密度的变化。我们对10名男性右手食指指腹的10个组织标本进行的研究表明,梅斯纳小体的大小和数量均随年龄增长而减少。由于使用了一种新的切片方法,即皮肤平行切片法,我们的数据具有更高的准确性。
