Fasciae adherens are specialized junctions found in cardiac muscle cells that anchor adjacent cells together, providing structural support and facilitating communication. They are a type of intercalated disc, which also contains gap junctions and desmosomes, allowing for coordinated contraction of the heart muscle. Fasciae adherens primarily consist of actin filaments and proteins that help maintain the integrity of the heart tissue during the mechanical stress of contraction.
