[Electron microscopic study of the innervation of the heart conduction system in rats]
Abstract
A systemic quantitative electron microscopic analysis on innervation of the sinus node, the atrioventricular node, the bundle of His and its pedicles within the interventricular septum has been performed in intact hearts of mature rats. The data have been obtained on the size of nonmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibres, efferent and afferent terminals within different parts of the cardiac conductive system, their interconnection with specialized cardiomyocytes have been described. Application of certain methods for electron microscopic investigation on the innervation of mammalian cardiac conductive system has been discussed.
