Question

The cell junction responsible for the beating of cardiac muscle as an unit is: (A) Intercalated disc (B) Interdigitations (C) Desmosomes (D) Skeletal muscles

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Gap junction forms channels between adjacent cardiac muscle fibres. Intercalated discs are part of the sarcolemma and contain two structures important in cardiac muscle contraction: gap junctions and desmosomes.
