corpuscles
Tiny body particles
Corpuscles are tiny particles or cells, especially red or white blood cells.
The term comes from a Latin word meaning "little body" and appears in scientific and medical contexts: The blood sample showed an elevated corpuscle count.
In physics, corpuscles once referred to subatomic particles before more precise terminology developed.
