Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Purkinje fibers (Czech: [ˈpurkɪɲɛ] ( listen); often incorrectly /pɜːrˈkɪndʒi/ pur-KIN-jee; Purkinje tissue or subendocardial branches) are located in the inner ventricular walls of the heart, just beneath the endocardium in a space called the subendocardium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Purkinje fibers are the structures present in the inner walls of the right and left ventricles of the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The asymmetrical localization of the dense network of Purkinje fibers between the right and left ventricles is necessary to optimally synchronize contractions according to the blood flow pattern of each ventricle [7].
