Jan Evangelista Purkyně (Czech: [ˈjan ˈɛvaŋɡɛlɪsta ˈpurkɪɲɛ] (
listen); also written Johann Evangelist Purkinje) (17 December or 18 December 1787 – 28 July 1869) was a Czech anatomist and physiologist.
He was one of the best known scientists of his time. In 1839, he coined
the term 'protoplasm' for the fluid substance of a cell. His son was
the painter Karel Purkyně.
Such was his fame that when people from outside Europe wrote letters to
him, all that they needed to put as the address was "Purkyně, Europe".He is buried in the Czech National Cemetery in Vyšehrad, Prague, modern-day Czech Republic.
