Desmosomes and gap junctions
But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs"
singular: INTERCALATED DISC
plural: INTERCALATED DISCS
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.
The cardiac sphincter is the valve between the esophagus and the stomach.
Gap junctions allow neighboring cells to exchange small molecules, ions, and electrical signals directly through channels formed by connexin proteins. This enables rapid communication and coordination between cells in tissues such as cardiac muscle and nervous tissue.
so electrical impulses can be carried freely between cells
The channel between animal cells is called a gap junction. Gap junctions allow for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells, facilitating communication and coordination within tissues.
synapse
The desmosomes are the component of the intercalated disk is a intercellular junction to keep cells from being pulled apart during contractions. The myocardial vortex is the arrangement of the cardiac muscle cells.
A junction that is a protein channel linking the cytoplasms of adjacent cells is called a gap junction. This structure allows for direct communication and sharing of ions and small molecules between neighboring cells.
the intercalated disks between the cells
A gap junction enables connections between two different animal cells. It allows ions and molecules to pass between the cells freely and helps the organism to continue to exist.
Tight junctions form a seal between adjacent epithelial cells, preventing the passage of materials between cells. They help maintain the integrity and barrier function of the epithelium.
