| 1) Isolated cardiac cells prepared with trypsin and hydrogenase | |
| 2) Thin section of cardiac muscle. See the intercalating disks. They myofibrils are branched. Big grey patches are the mitochondria. Nucleus in the upper left corner. | |
| 3) Intercalating Disks - Thinner slice of cardiac muscle. | |
| 4) Gap Junctions | |
| 5) Myocytes - Lower middle = FA = Adherins junctions MA = Macula adherins N = Gap Junctions = Nexis junctions on lateral surfaces or between the FA or MA junction. | |
| 6) Thyroxin can switch on different sets fo contractile => faster contractile proteins => Cardiac skeletal type heterogeneity | |
| 7) Smooth Muscle | |
| 8) Thick, thin and microvessels | |
| 9) Again see the filaments - Thick => myosin that exist in filamentous state when it contracts Thin => Activated by increased cytosolic Calcium, They function in sliding filament action Intermediate => Interconnected dense bodies | |
| 10) SEM of Relaxed Smooth Muscle | |
| 11) SEM of Contracted Smooth Muscle | |
| 12) Neuron- See Nissle body, RER, Nucleus (Very euchromatic), Lysosomes | |
| 13) Neuropil | |
| 14) Synaptic spine or Dendritic Knobs | |
| 15) Neuromuscular junction synapse | |
| 16) Motor Neuron | |
| 17) Synapse in a central nervous system |
