Where are intercalated disc found?
Cardiac muscle.
What tissue has intercalated disc?
cardia muscle
What is the junctions between cardiac muscle cells?
Desmosomes and gap junctions But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs" singular: INTERCALATED DISC plural: INTERCALATED DISCS
What are the two types of cellular junctions found at intercalated disc?
Cardiac muscle is network of branched fibers (cells) connected by gap junctions called intercalated disks.
The band that occurs where two cardiac muscle cells join together?
The intercalated disc is the band that forms by the joining of two cardiac muscles. These muscles work together to form a syncytium.

What does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle fibres contain GAP JUNCTION in the intercalated disc which makes them to function as a FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM
Where in the body is the smooth muscle located?
Cardiac muscle also may appear striated, but with only a single band crossing each bundle, the intercalated disc. Each cell possesses only one or two, large, round nuclei, which typically stain fairly dark.

What is the purpose of intercalated discs in cardiac muscle tissue?
An intercalated disc forms connections between neighboring cells in the heart. Two types of connections are formed at each intercalated disc, which connects the cell membranes of two myocytes (heart muclse cells). One is a physical connect and the other is a chemical link. These allow the heart to beat as if it is almost one cell. Other factors slow the coordination so that the heart muscle will contract top to bottom.
Which component of the intercalated disc is a junction that provides the intercellular communication required for the myocardium to perform as a functional syncytium?
Gap junctions
What is the function of the intercalated disc?
Basically, the cardiac action potential travel across them, making it easier for the electrical impulses to move quickely.
