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 is the fundamental characteristic of the cardiac muscle?
striated smooth muscle with intercalated discs
What is the junction between cardiac 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 is the relationsip between intercalated disk and myocardium?
Intercalated discs are very complex structures and have great significance in terms of the workings of the myocardium. These discs create a high degree of interconnection between the myocardial cells.
Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of skeletal muscle?
Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of cardiac muscle. Only cardiac muscle has intercalated discs. Both skeletal and cardiac muscle have striations.
What structural component of cardiac muscle cells allow for electrical current to flow from cell to cell?
The intercalated discs
Does Smooth muscle contains intercalated discs?
no
What connects cardiac muscle tissues?
Intercalated discs.
What is The structure in cardiac muscle which allows contractions to spread quickly?
intercalated discs Human Anatomy and Physiology 8th edition Page 673
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.
Which layer of the heart has actin myosin and intercalated discs?
The Myocardium
What is the irregular traverse thickenings of the sarcolemma that contain gap junctions which allow muscle action potentials to spread quickly from one cardiac muscle fiber to another?
Intercalated Discs
