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.
What else can I help you with?
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
Which tissue has intercalated discs?
Cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs, which are specialized structures that help with communication and coordination of muscle contractions in the heart.
Which of the below structures is found in cardiac muscle tissue but not skeletal muscle tissue?
Intercalated discs
How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart?
The structure of the heart is very complex. Cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart make up part of this very complex system
What structure is found in cardiac muscle tissue but not skeletal muscle tissue?
Intercalated discs are unique to cardiac muscle tissue, providing a strong connection between adjacent cells and allowing for coordinated contraction of the heart. Skeletal muscle tissue lacks intercalated discs since individual muscle fibers act independently.
Where are intercalated disks found?
inside Valerie's heart!! AWWWWW HOW CUTE! YAY FOR JACKIE
Where are intercalated disc found?
Intercalated discs are found in cardiac muscle tissue, specifically at the junction between adjacent cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells). They contain specialized structures that facilitate communication and coordination between cells, allowing for synchronized contraction of the heart.
Is cardiac muscle smooth or straited?
The tissue which makes up cardiac muscle has striations present. The heart, which is made up of special cardiac muscle is composed of lots of branching cells that join into a continuous mass by intercalated discs. Cardiac muscle is also known as striated involuntary muscle. This cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the heart walls of each chamber. The striations in cardiac muscle are irregular, but they are present. Striated muscle is also found in skeltal muscle tissue, skeletal muscle tissue unlike cardiac muscle tissue has a regular striated structure which you can easily see through histolgy.
If its cells are striated and fused at the ends so that the cells contract as a unit then the tissue is what?
The tissue you are describing is cardiac muscle tissue. It is found in the heart and its cells are striated (have bands) and connected by intercalated discs, allowing them to contract in sync and pump blood effectively.
What tissue has intercalated disc?
cardia muscle
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
What type of muscle tissue makes up wall of heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue forms the walls of the heart.
