Q

Anatomic Differences Structural and Functional for Myocytes, myofibrils, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and Activity of Na+/K+ ATPase

A

-Myocytes and myofibrils: increase in size
-mitochondria: number increases as the oxygen requirements of the heart rises.
-sarcoplasmic reticulum: The amount and its ability
to sequester calcium increase in early development.
-Activity of Na+/K+ ATPase: increases with maturation, and affects the sodium-calcium exchange
