Abstract:
Ultrastructural morphometric analysis of satellite cells of the diaphragm from one and 30-day-old rats was performed. The nuclear and cytoplasmic components of the cells were evaluated. The results obtained indicate that the satellite cells of one-day-old female rats are in a state of low activity. In 30-day-old animals, on the contrary, the cells are excited and active. This may be connected with their intensive participation in the process of development of the diaphragm muscle.
