| Abstract [eng] |
There are two types of cardiac sensory endings – complex unencapsulated endings and end-nets. The aim of this study was to examine morphology of sensory terminals in the basis of mouse heart and ability of different antibodies to visualize these terminals. Our results showed that both end-net and complex unencapsulated endings can be visualized with PGP 9.5 (AbD Serotec, USA). Complex unencapsulated endings are localized in heart wall epicardium near the apertures of caudal, right cranial and left cranial veins in the right atrium. End-net terminals are diffusely distributed in all three layers (endocardium, myocardium, epicardium) of heart wall. Complex unencapsulated endings near the caudal vein aperture have the lowest area compared with the sensory endings near the other two veins apertures. |
