[Source of reparative regeneration of skeletal muscle tissue]

In order to study the problem on the source of reparative regeneration in skeletal muscle tissue, the experiments were carried out on 30 white rats. With a safety razor a transversal cut of the anterior tibial muscle was performed. The material was studied for 1-10 days by the methods of light and electron microscopy, simultaneously. As the investigation demonstrated, the source of regeneration is the satellite cells I converting into the satellite cells II and, further, into myoblasts able to mitotic division and fusion with each other forming myosymplasts.
