    Abstract:
    The present paper examines the ultrastructure of the sarcoplasmic recitulum (SR) and the T system in the striated muscle of the lamprey. The pyroantimonate method was used to visualise the sites of intracellular calcium localisation. Characteristic for the muscle studied are the presence of numerous intricately shaped invaginations on the surface membrane of muscle fibres and peripheral contacts between SR cisternae and the sarcolemma. In addition to calcium localised in the terminal cisternae of SR and N-bands of the I-disk, as typical of vertebrate muscles, a great amount of calcium is present in the subsarcolemmal region, corresponding to the area of invaginations, and in longitudinal elements of SR.
