Purkinje nerve cell. Light micrograph of a purkinje nerve cell (black, top right) from the cerebellum of the brain. The cell comprises a flask-shaped cell body from which numerous processes (dendrites) branch. It is through these dendrites that the cell receives impulses from other cells. Purkinje cells form the junction between the granular and molecular layers of the grey matter of the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls balance, posture and muscle coordination. | |
