- Abstract
The heart structure of the spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, was observed from the Paknam Pranburi Estuary, Thailand, using histological and histochemical techniques. The results revealed that the heart structure consisted of 4 chambers comprising the sinus venosus, the atrium, the ventricle, and the bulbus arteriosus which were basically structured into 3 layers (the epicardium, the myocardium, and the endocardium). The feature of the sinus venosus was structured similarly to the atrium. It had 2 layers which were a thin layer of the epicardium and the endocardium. However, the myocardium in the atrium had much more cardiac muscular tissue than was found in the sinus venosus. The ventricle in this species was thicker than that of the atrium and it was composed of the thickest layer of the cardiomyocytes. The localization of the bulbus arteriosus with the ventral aorta was the final observation of the heart organ and had a thicker layer of the myocardium than the other layers.
