Summary
-
1.
The structure of theGolgi apparatus in the cells (or fibres) of cardiac muscle has been examined by means of theDa Fano andKolatschew techniques.
-
2.
The findings ofLuna, that theGolgi apparatus of fully developed cardiac muscle fibres consists of two bipolar filaments situated in the long axis of the fibre, has been confirmed.
-
3.
The development of theGolgi apparatus from the primitive mesodermal juxta-nuclear form to the final bipolarised structure has been traced.
-
4.
It has been suggested that the fragmentation of theGolgi apparatus into its two portions is effected by the stretching of the cell.
-
5.
No connection has been found to exist between theGolgi apparatus and theCajal-Fusari network.
-
6.
The neutral red bodies have been desribed, and have been found to be entirely distinct from theGolgi apparatus.
