Ultrastructure of primary pacemaking cells in rabbit sino‐atrial node cells indicates limited sarcoplasmic reticulum content

Published: Jan 7, 2020
Abstract
The main mammalian heart pacemakers are spindle-shaped cells compressed into tangles within protective layers of collagen in the sino-atrial node (SAN). Two cell types, "dark" and "light," differ on their high or low content of intermediate filaments, but share scarcity of myofibrils and a high content of glycogen. Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is scarce. The free SR (fSR) occupies 0.04% of the cell volume within ~0.4 µm wide peripheral band. The...
