Malpighian corpuscle

There are at least two anatomical structures called a Malpighian corpuscle. They are also known as:

Renal corpuscles — the initial filtering component of nephrons in the kidneys

White Nodules — follicles in the white pulp of the spleen, containing many lymphocytes

These structures are named after Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694), an Italian physician and biologist regarded as the father of microscopical anatomy and histology.
