Intercalated discs are specialized structures found in cardiac muscle tissue that connect individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). They contain gap junctions and desmosomes, which facilitate electrical communication and mechanical adhesion between the cells, allowing for synchronized heart contractions. This unique structure is essential for the heart's ability to function as a cohesive unit, ensuring efficient blood pumping throughout the body.
