Purkinje nerve cell

Purkinje nerve cell. Coloured confocal lightmicrograph of a section through a Purkinje nervecell (yellow/orange) from the cerebellum of thebrain. The Purkinje cell comprises a flask-shapedcell body (yellow) from which branch numerousdendrites (orange). Purkinje cells are found atthe junction between the granular layer (blue, lower left) and the molecular layer (green) of thegrey matter of the cerebellum. Nerve impulses flowto a Purkinje cell through its dendrites. Thecerebellum controls balance, posture and musclecoordination. Magnification unknown.. Stunning Photo Gifts From Science Photo Library
