摘要: We have examined correlations between morphological and functional evidence of cell coupling aggregates beating embryonic heart cells underlying layers. Synchronously aggregate-layer pairs were compared with asynchronous pairs. Intracellular microelectrode studies demonstrated that asynchronously aggregate-layers could not be induced to beat synchronously by electrical stimulation the aggregate, whereas 86% synchronous instances showed propagation stimulating current pulses from aggregate layer. By freeze fracture we found significant differences both in number total area gap junctions interfaces preparations. The data suggest is a reliable indication effective ionic coupling, requires certain junction/cell.
