Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma?
Irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma connect cardiac muscle fibers to neighboring muscle fibers. The gap junctions that occur with irregular transverse thickening of the sarcolemma allow the myocardium to contract as a single unit.
What connects the sarcolemma and the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
They connect to the transverse tubules of the the sarcolemma at triad junctions.
Action potentials are conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by?
C. neuromuscular junctions
Action potentials pass from one myocardial cell to another through areas of low electrical resistance called?
gap junctions
The action potential is conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by?
neuromuscular junctions Action potentials conduct down T tubules into skeletal muscles
What are junctions?
Junctions on roads are intersections.
Which type of junctions prevent water leakage between cells?
Tight Junctions
How many junctions are there on the M25?
There are 31 Junctions on the M25
How are the plasmodesmata of plant cells and commicating junctions of animal cell similar in function?
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
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...
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
It is essential for heart muscle cells to beat in a coordinated fashion The cell junctions that would best facilitate this are?
anchoring junctions, im pretty positive. if not its tight junctions. but yeah, pretty sure its anchoring junctions.
