What else can I help you with?
What type of muscle tissue has neuromuscular junctions?
skeletal muscle
Which muscle tissue has gap junctions?
Smooth
Action potentials are conducted into a skeletal muscle fiber by?
C. neuromuscular junctions
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.
Cardiac muscle fibers electrically connect to neighboring fibers by?
intercalated discs, which contain gap junctions that allow for the rapid transmission of electrical impulses between cells. This ensures synchronized contraction of the heart muscle.
How would the genetic inheritance of a gene producing abnormal gap junctions effect muscle tissue?
Abnormal gap junctions can impair the ability of muscle cells to communicate effectively, leading to coordination and contractility issues within the muscle tissue. This can result in weakened muscle function, muscle spasms, or even muscle degeneration over time.
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
Are cardia muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and behave as a single unit?
Because cardiac muscle cells are electrically connected by gap junctions, the entire myocardium behaves like a single unit, a functional syncytium.
Which of these junctions represents the connection between the tip of a neuron and a skeletal muscle cell from which Acetylcholine diffuses?
Neuromuscular
What muscle types has only one nucleus no sarcomeres and rare gap junctions?
Multi-unit Smooth Muscle.
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
What type muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and mechanically connected by dense bodies?
Smooth muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent cells connected by gap junctions and dense bodies. This allows for coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscle tissue.
