Krause's Corpuscles

Terminal nerve-corpuscles described by. Krause as existing in the conjunctiva, the genitals, and other parts of the human body, and differing from the Pacinian corpuscles only coraco-cervical is muscle. See Muscles, Table of. K.'s Nerve, a branch of the musculospiral nerve which accompanies the ulnar and terminates in the inner head of the triceps. K.'s Proce , a proce for the separation of the two coloring-matters of chlorophvl. 1. Prepare a solution by allowing fresh bruised leaves to be acted upon for a few hours in the dark by warm 65 per cent, alcohol; decant. 2. Shake one volume of this solution with two volumes of benzol; after a time the turbid liquid separates into a benzol layer above having a bluish-green color, and an alcohol layer below tinged yellow. The yellowish pigment is called by Krause xanthophyl, the bluish green, kyanophyl. According to Wiesner, kyanophyl is nearly pure chlorophvl freed from its a ociated yellow pigment xanthophyl. It is believed by many that the yellow pigment separated by this proce is identical with that found in plants blanched (etiolated) in darkne , and which has been called etiolin (Goodale).
