Heart - histology
|
This is a histology slide of the hart. It is a high magnification micrograph of sinoatrial (SA) node tissue. H&E stain.
The SA node fibre vaguely resemble cardiac myocytes; however, they are thinner, squiggly and stain less intensely (on H&E) than cardiac myocytes. Adjacent to nodal tissue is nerve fibre. The SA node interacts with fibres from the vagus nerve.
