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 the similarities between cardiac and smooth muscle?
There are 3 types of muscle tissue: Skeletal (the muscle tissue on bones) Smooth (internal organ make-up) Cardiac (heart)
What is the problem with height weight tables?
The limitation of height-weight tables is that they do not distinguish between weight of human fatty tissue and weight of lean muscle tissue.
What are the similarities between muscle tissue and the blood?
soft cosine or ("soft" similarity)
Is an ear piercing permanent?
It could be the swelling, if it doesn't go down, then you may ask the person who pierced it if this is common with others. It may have damaged a muscle or tissue which would make your ears stick out.
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.
How would the genetic inheritance of a gene producing abnormal gap junctions effect muscle tissue?
The genetic inheritance of a gene producing abnormal gap junctions may be harmful and may disrupt the structure of muscle tissue.
What type of muscle tissue has a gap junction?
Cardiac muscle tissue has gap junctions to allow impulses to travel quickly though the tissue so the two atria can contract as one and the two ventricles can contract as one.
What type of muscle tissue has neuromuscular junctions?
skeletal muscle
Allow spread of action potential between cardiac fibers?
Visceral Muscle Tissue or Visceral Smooth Tissue is a cardiac muscle. Its gap junctions allows actions that is likely to disseminate from one cell to another.
Cardiac muscle fibers electrically connect to neighboring fibers by?
Gap Junctions
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
Is the cardiac muscle branched?
No. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are two different types of muscle tissue. Smooth muscle does not have striations (or stripes) and is located in the organs. Cardiac muscle is striated (has stripes) and fits together with gap junctions that allow for quick passage.
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.
Adult cell types you might expect to have gap junctions include?
heart 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 muscle types has only one nucleus no sarcomeres and rare gap junctions?
Multi-unit Smooth Muscle.
