The heart of Lepidurus arcticus consists of an epicardium and a single layer of strongly polarized myocardial cells, 10-50 μm thick, with the myofibrillar part facing the epicardium. The Z-bands are diffuse and some Z-material forms attachment plaques. Relaxed sarcomeres show a hexagonal arrangement of thick filaments and 6 thin filaments in orbit, but filaments often diverge in their orientation. The sarcolemma invaginates from both the epicardial and the endocardial side of the cell, forming clefts and T-tubules. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is loosely reticular, cisternae associate with sarcolemma to form large and typical peripheral and interior couplings. The latter are of the 'button-to-button' type and they tend to be located at the A-I level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
