ПАТОМОРФОЛОГИЯ СКЕЛЕТНОЙ МУСКУЛАТУРЫ И МИКРОЦИРКУЛЯТОРНОГО РУСЛА ПРИ ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТАЛЬНОЙ ГИПОТЕРМИИ

The article describes the results of studying the effect of hypothermia on skeletal muscles and microcirculatory vascular bed of rats in the experiment. Hypothermia was modeled by placing animals in individual cells in water at the temperature of 5 °C, at an ambient temperature of 7 °C. It is shown that along with the damaging effect on muscle tissue and microcirculatory vascular bed, hypothermia is a powerful activator of the mast cells’ and macrophages’ activity. Interstitial mast cells and macrophages are important factors in the process of adaptation of the body to the effect of hypothermia.
