)

Any of numerous neurons of the cerebral cortex having large flask-shaped cell bodies with massive dendrites and one slender axon. Also called Purkinje corpuscle.

Purkinje

named after J.E. Purkinje, Bohemian anatomist (1787-1869).

Purkinje cell

neuronal cell bodies in the middle layer of the cerebellar cortex; characterized by a large, globose body and massive, branching dendrites but a single, slender axon.

Purkinje fiber

modified cardiac muscle fibers in the subendothelial tissue, concerned with conducting impulses through the heart.

P's image, Purkinje-Sanson images

in a normal eye, reflections of light off the surface of the cornea, anterior lens capsule, and posterior lens capsule. When viewed from different angles, can be used to localize intraocular opacities.

Purkinje network
