[Tissue composition of the sinoauricular area of the human heart (a quantitative electron microscopic analysis)].
An original technique for fixation, treatment and oriented embedding of the sinoauricular area material of the human heart makes it possible to study ultrastructure of the conducting myocardial in the sinus node (SN) and that of the parasinusoid working myocardium in the right atrium (RA), while the spatial interrelations, between the structures of the area examined are fully kept intact. Quantitative analysis of the SN and RA myocardial tissue composition has been performed. Contents of muscular, connective tissue, vascular and nervous components in the SN and RA have been estimated in hearth of 8 men died from causes not connected with any heart disease. Informativity degree of each component studied is discussed for differentiating the SN conducting myocardium from the RA working myocardium in ultrastructural investigations of the human heart in autopsies.
