THE ESSENTIALS OF HISTOLOGY. 



FIG. 274. BASKET-WORK OF FIBRES AROUND TWO CELLS OF 

 PURKLNJE. (Ramon y Cajal.) 



a, axis-cylinder or nerve-fibre process of one of the corpuscles 

 of Purkinje ; b, fibres prolonged over the beginning of the 

 axis-cylinder process ; c, branches of the nerve-fibre pro- 

 cesses of cells of the molecular layer, felted together 

 around the bodies of the corpuscles of Purkinje. 



FIG. 275. TRANSVERSE SECTION OF A CEREBELLAR LAMELLA OF THE ADULT RAT 



SHOWING THE FIBRES WHICH PASS FROM THE WHITE CENTRE TO THE GREY 



MATTER. (Ramon y Cajal.) 



A, molecular layer ; B, level of cells of Purkinje ; C, granule layer ; D, white substance. 



f , ft ff> fibres which end in basket-work arborisations, b, enveloping the dendrite* 

 of Purkinje's cells ; c, body of cell of Purkinje ; o, probably an axis-cylinder pro- 

 cess from one of the cells of Purkinje ; in, " moss " fibres ramifying in the granule 

 layer.
