Purkinje,

Johannes E. von (Jan E. Purkyne), Bohemian anatomist and physiologist, 1787-1869. Purkinje afterimage - Synonym(s): Bidwell ghostPurkinje cells - large nerve cells of the cerebellar cortex with a piriform cell body and dendrites arranged in a plane transverse to the folium. Synonym(s): Purkinje corpusclesPurkinje conduction - conduction of the cardiac impulse through the Purkinje system.Purkinje corpuscles - Synonym(s): Purkinje cellsPurkinje effect - Synonym(s): Purkinje phenomenonPurkinje fibers - interlacing fibers formed of modified cardiac muscle cells that are the terminal ramifications of the conducting system of the heart found beneath the endocardium of the ventricles.Purkinje figures - shadows of the retinal vessels seen as dark lines on a reddish field when a light enters the eye through the sclera and not the pupil.Purkinje image trackerPurkinje images - Synonym(s): Purkinje-Sanson imagesPurkinje layer - the layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym(s): piriform neuron layerPurkinje network - the network formed by Purkinje fibers beneath the endocardium.Purkinje phenomenon - in the light-adapted eye, the region of maximal brightness is in the yellow; in the dark-adapted eye, the region of maximal brightness is in the green. Synonym(s): Purkinje effect; Purkinje shiftPurkinje shift - Synonym(s): Purkinje phenomenonPurkinje system - terminal ramifications in the ventricles of the specialized conducting system of the heart.Purkinje-Sanson images - the two images formed by the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea, and the two images formed by the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens. Synonym(s): catatropic images; Purkinje images; Sanson images
