Muscules stapedius in guinea pig was investigated with regard to morphology and elemental composition. The muscle fibers are multinucleated, contain a high amount of ribosomes, and a centriole is often found adjacent to the cell nucleus. Intramitochondrial inclusion bodies occur adjacent to cristae mitochondriales. Both type I and type II fibres occur, the latter with all three subtypes. Elemental analysis from the myofibrillar area revealed unexpected low concentration of K and high concentrations of NA, P, and Ca.
