What else can I help you with?
The electrical synapses between adjacent myocardial cells are called?
gap junctions
What organs has gap junction?
most organs have gap junctions they are gaps in the synapses in nerves where the charge jumps from on nerve to the other
What are gap junctions in cells?
They are connections between animal cells which connects the cytoplasm between the cells; in neurons, they are electrical synapses.
What are electrical junctions in the human body?
Electrical junctions in the human body are where the axons of nerves (singly called neurons) send a chemical to the dendrite(s) of nearby neuron(s), said chemical creating a weak electrical current in the next neuron. These neuron to neuron junctions are called, "Synapses".
What are specialized junctions between neurons called?
Specialized junctions between neurons are called synapses. Synapses allow neurons to communicate with each other by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. There are two main types of synapses: electrical synapses, where ions flow directly between neurons, and chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to relay the signal.
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
Where do neurons meet?
Neurons meet and communicate with each other at junctions called synapses. At these synapses, they release and receive chemical neurotransmitters to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
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.
Which system involves a synapse?
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
Adult cell types you might expect to have gap junctions include?
Neurons, cardiac muscle cells, and smooth muscle cells are adult cell types that typically have gap junctions. Gap junctions allow for direct electrical and chemical communication between neighboring cells, facilitating coordination and synchronization in tissue function.
What forms synapses or junctions with other neurons or effector cells?
axon terminals
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...
