Cardiac muscle tissue has gap junctions to allow impulses to travel quickly though the tissue so the two atria can contract as one and the two ventricles can contract as one.

Junction type that allows neighboring cells to exchange small molecules?
Gap Junction
Does skeletal muscle have gap junctions?
No. It's the only type of muscle tissue that doesn't have gap junctions. Cardiac and smooth muscles have gap junctions.
Cardiac muscle fibers electrically connect to neighboring fibers by?
Gap Junctions
What type of membrane junction allows ions to pass directly from cell to cell?
Gap junctions
Which muscle tissue has gap junctions?
Smooth
The type of intercellular junction that forms tubular channels is a?
gap junction
The actual gap between an axon ending and the muscle cell is called what?
Neuromuscular junction.
Difference between gap junction and tight junction?
A gap junction is a '' tunnel '' between cells in which messages and nutrients can be passed back and forth. A tight junction is the connection between two cells that is strongly '' sown '' with protein threads to help maintain tissue conformation.
How would the genetic inheritance of a gene producing abnormal gap junctions effect muscle tissue?
The genetic inheritance of a gene producing abnormal gap junctions may be harmful and may disrupt the structure of muscle tissue.
What type of junction will hold epithelial tissue?
Epithelial cells are bound together in sheets of tissue called epithelia. These sheets are held together through several types of interactions, including tight junctions, adherens, desmosomes, and gap junctions.
What does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle fibres contain GAP JUNCTION in the intercalated disc which makes them to function as a FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM
What is the channel between animal cells?
Gap junction aka nexus
