The band where two cardiac muscle cells join is called an intercalated disc. These structures are essential for the synchronized contraction of the heart, as they contain specialized connections such as gap junctions and desmosomes that allow for the rapid transmission of electrical signals and mechanical strength between cells. This coordination is crucial for effective heart function.
What else can I help you with?
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
What are heart muscle cells called?
They are called cardiac muscles.
What type of muscle is the heart formed from?
The heart is made of smooth and cardiac muscle
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
What is the connections between cardiac muscle cells called?
Intercalated disks
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
What is a group of muscle cells called?
Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts. Muscle cells are found in several specialized forms such as Cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscles etc.Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue.

What cells make up the myocardium?
The myocardium is composed of cardiomyocytes, which are specialized muscle cells that form the heart muscle tissue. These cells are responsible for contraction of the heart and pumping blood throughout the body.
What type of muscle is the heart made off?
the heart is made out of a special type of muscle called cardiac muscle
What are muscle cells also known as?
cardiac muscle cells smooth muscle cells skeletal muscle cells in honors anatomy thats what they said the cells where called, so I am pretty sure those are the correct names.
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
the cell tissue is not in fact muscle tissue its penis tissue
Which muscle cells can not regenerate?
Cardiac muscle cells cannot regenerate, meaning that they have limited ability to repair and replace damaged muscle tissue. This is because most cardiac muscle cells are terminally differentiated and do not undergo cell division.
