What attaches cardiac muscle fibers together?
The myocardial cells are connected through tight junctions and gap junctions between the cell membranes of adjacent cells. The myocardium as a whole is covered by the pericardium on the outside and the endocardium on the inside.
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...
Which cell junction is not illustrated and what is it's function?
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
What is the name of the areas that hold adjacent cells together and enable them to communicate?
I'm about 90% that this is correct. The name is called cellular junctions.
What structural component of cardiac muscle cell allows for electrical current to flow from cell to cell?
Gap junctions. Gap junctions are connecting channels made of proteins that permit the movement of ions or water between two adjacent cells. They are commonly found in cardiac and smooth muscle cells.Read more: what-are-gap-junctions

What structure connects adjacent cells?
Connected together by tightly wove tight junctions. looser connections called desmosomes and connection " tunnels " between cells, for selected passage of some substances, and called gap junctions.
What Cellular junctions that link intermediate filaments between adjacent animal cells are called?
Anchoring junctions link intermediate filaments to adjacent animal cells, attaching the cells but still allowing movement or stretching.
The electrical synapses between adjacent myocardial cells are called?
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 types of cell junctions connect cells within tissues?
The apical surface does not have any cell junctions because it is a free surface exposed to things that are not epithelial cells. The lateral surfaces of an epithelial cell, which face the adjacent cells on either side contain tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes and/or gap junctions. The basal surface of an epithelial cell adhere to extracellular materials like the basement membrane. Hemidesmosomes anchor the epithelium to the basement membrane in the basal surface.
When the midpoints of adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are connected by segments these segments form a what?
It forms a parallelogram.
