Gap junctions are connections between cells and some do pass ions from one cell to another cell. Some are chemical, some are electrical synapses ans some are direct connections.

The electrical synapses between adjacent myocardial cells are called?
gap junctions
What organs has gap junction?
most organs have gap junctions they are gaps in the synapses in nerves where the charge jumps from on nerve to the other
What are gap junctions in cells?
They are connections between animal cells which connects the cytoplasm between the cells; in neurons, they are electrical synapses.
What are electrical junctions in the human body?
Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".
Plasmodesmata of plant cells are functionally equivalent to what of animal cells?
If the answer choices are a. Extracellular Martix b. Desmosomes c. Gap Junctions d. Tight Junctions e. Peroxisomes Then the answer is definitely C, Gap Junctions
Which system involves a synapse?
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
Does skeletal muscle have gap junctions?
No. It's the only type of muscle tissue that doesn't have gap junctions. Cardiac and smooth muscles have gap junctions.
Which plant structure is most like gap junctions in animal cells?
gap junctions
What aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells?
There are gap junctions which help the cells communicate with one another.
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
What are the four types of cellular junctions?
plasmodesmata tight junctions desmosomes gap junctions the plasmodesmata is the only cell junction in the plant cells.. and the other three cell junctions are in the animal cells...
What is the chemical secreted into a gap between neurons at a synapse?
There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
