Abstract EN
More than 100 years after the discovery of the sinus node (SN) by Keith and Flack, the function and structure of the SN have not been completely established yet.
The anatomic architecture of the SN has often been described as devoid of an organized structure; the origin of the sinus impulse is still a matter of debate, and a definite description of the long postulated internodal specialized tract conducting the impulse from the SN to the atrioventricular node (AVN) is still missing.
In our previously published study, we proposed a morphologically ordered structure for the SN.
As a confirmation of what was presented then, we have added the results of additional observations regarding the structural particularities of the SN.
We investigated the morphology of the sinus node in the human hearts of healthy individuals using histochemical, immunohistochemical, optical, and electron microscopy (SEM, TEM).
Our results confirmed that the SN presents a previously unseen highly organized architecture.
