Cardiac Muscle Histology

Primate - Alizarin blue

  • Use a low magnification to find a part of the tissue in which the cardiac muscle cells are cut longitudinally.
  • At high magnification you should see striations and the large nuclei of the cardiac muscle cells.
  • Follow the course of individual cardiac muscle cells you will note fine, dark blue lines which seem to cross the fibres.
  • These are the intercalated discs which connect the individual muscle cells and permit the conduction of electrical impulses between the cells.
