Purkinje
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Purkinje is a name attributed to several biological features, so named for their discovery by Czech anatomist Jan Evangelista Purkyně:
- Purkinje cells located in the cerebellum;
- Purkinje fibers located in the heart;
- The visual Purkinje effect;
- Purkinje images, reflections of objects from the surface of the cornea, and from the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens.
