Diseases of the nervous system .. . ebral cortex, Purkinjes cells of the cerebellar cortex). This branch-ing of the dendrites finally ceases, and they either have free terminations. THE HISTOLOGIC COMPONENTS OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 39 being contiguous to similar terminal branches of other dendrites, or they arewrapped hasket-like around other nerve-cells and their processes. The nerveprocess itself has a varying length; sometimes it is quite short, and aftergiving off many or few collaterals it divides near its origin into terminaltwigs similar to the dendrites. Thus it is brought into contact with othercells and terminal twigs, and the same occurs with its collaterals. Often,however, the nerve process is of great length, it traverses wide areas of the brain or spinal cord, constantly giving off col-laterals, often extends from the brain into thespinal cord, or leaves the central nervous sys-tem and passes by peripheral nerves to thoseorgans which it supplies. Such nerve proc-esses, for example, the fibers of the cerebral.
