Question:

Talk about the heterogeneity of cardiac muscle cells (myoendocrine)

Author: H K



Answer:

Myoendocrine cells: They are localized at the level of the atria. They do not contain much contractile material and perform an endocrine function. Their Golgi apparatus and their rough ER are well developed, and they contain secretory granules containing the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) that decreases arterial pressure.
