What else can I help you with?
Whats the word for cells with many nuclei?
A cells with many nuclei is often called a syncytium. The normal cell structure for many types of fungi is a syncytium.
What is a mass of interconnected cardiac muscle cells that act together as a group?
This is known as a cardiac syncytium, where adjacent cardiac muscle cells are interconnected by gap junctions, allowing them to function as a coordinated unit. This enables the heart to contract efficiently and effectively pump blood throughout the body.
What is a functional syncytium?
Cardiac muscle cells are mechanically, chemically, and electrically connected to one another, thus, the entire tissue resembles a single, enormous muscle cell. For this reason, cardiac muscle has been called a functional syncytium. This is also true of smooth muscle.
A cell that completed the cell cycle without undergoing cytokinesis would?
result in a cell with more than one nucleus, known as a syncytium. This can sometimes occur in certain developmental stages or in specialized tissues such as muscle cells.
What describes a single organism?
Unicellular best describes a one celled organism.
Is the heart actually a true syncytium?
no
What word describe a multinucleated cell?
syncytium.
How does the cardiac muscle work as a functional syncytium?
cardiac muscle operates as a functional syncytium, although it's not a true syncytium, because each myocardial cell has its own nucleus within its own membrane. Cardiac muscle functions as a syncytium due to the presence of low resistance connections between adjacent cells, and when an action potential is generated, the atria or the ventricle contract together.
Whats the word for cells with many nuclei?
A cells with many nuclei is often called a syncytium. The normal cell structure for many types of fungi is a syncytium.
How many functional syncytium are in heart?
Only one. The entire heart works together as a functional syncytium. It is generally referring to the electrical conduction and blood flow through the heart working together as one unit.
Do smooth or skeletal muscle form a functional syncytium?
Smooth muscle forms a functional syncytium due to the presence of gap junctions that allow electrical signals to pass from one cell to the next, enabling coordinated contractions. Skeletal muscle, on the other hand, does not form a functional syncytium as each skeletal muscle cell (fiber) is innervated individually by a motor neuron and must be stimulated independently.

Which component of the intercalated disc is a junction that provides the intercellular communication required for the myocardium to perform as a functional syncytium?
The gap junction is the component of the intercalated disc that provides intercellular communication essential for myocardial cells to function as a syncytium. Gap junctions allow for the passage of ions and small molecules between adjacent cardiac muscle cells, synchronizing their electrical and mechanical activities.
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
The correct sequence in the conduction system of the heart is?
SA node, Internodal pathways, AV node, Bundle of His, Bundle branches, Purkinje fibers.
A mass of interconnected cardiac muscle cells that act as a unit constitutes a what?
a mass of merging cardiac cells that act as a unit is called functional syncytium. two of these are in the heart (atrial walls, and ventricular walls)
