Best Answer

The main function of a Krause Corpuscle is sensory. It is small oval capsule that is in the medullated fibers in connective tissue. It helps with sensations in nerve-based organs like the eyes, parts of the reproductive systems, some joint synovial membranes, nerve trunks, and facial mucous membranes.
