The human cerebellum is part of the nervous system and considered nervous tissue. It consists of different layers with the inner most layer being the medulla of white matter. It then branches out and has two different layers. There is the molecular layer which resides on the outer most portion then there is the granular layer which is the inner most layer. The inner most later will also contain cells called the purkinje cells. The human cerebellum is responsible for the control of motor movements. The cerebellum receives messages from the spinal cord and other parts of the brain.
Purkinje cells are flasked shaped and receive impulses from other neurons. Source: Mescher, Anthony (2013) Junqeira’s Basic Histolyogy: Text and Atlas 13th Edition. Mcgraw Hill Education.
