Summary The ultrastructure of a paraganglion found in right atrium of albino mouse close to the superior cava vein is described. A capillary, which occupied the central part of the paraganglion, was surrounded by three chromaffin cells. Two other chromaffin cells were also present, but neither nerve fibers nor nerve endings were seen. The possible physiological role of paraganglia is discussed.
