All of the following cells are present in cerebellum, EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: Pyramidal cells
Description: The pyramidal cells are seen in cerebral coex. The coex of the cerebellum consists of only three layers. They are, (1) an outer, molecular layer, (2) a middle, Purkinje layer, and (3) an inner, granular layer. The molecular layer has the least cellular density and consists of two types of neurons, stellate cells and basket cells. The stellate cells have relatively sho dendrites and basket cells have more extensive dendritic processes. Purkinje layer is relatively thin but consists of the densely packed cell bodies of the Purkinje cells. These cell bodies are the largest in the cerebellum and, with their unique dendritic trees, are probably the most distinctive cells in the entire CNS. Granular layer consists of the cell bodies of the very densely packed granular cells and Golgi type II cells.
