Which layer of the heart has actin myosin and intercalated discs?
The Myocardium
What is the connections between cardiac muscle cells called?
Intercalated disks
Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?
No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.
What is disc space narrowing with vacuum disc phenomena?
The presence of linear radiolucency in the disk space result in space narrowing with vacuum disc. It is associated with degenerative disk disease.
What is disc em?
a disc em is a cooking utensil like a wisk you can make my favorite treat eggs jk
What does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle fibres contain GAP JUNCTION in the intercalated disc which makes them to function as a FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM
Are Intercalated disc are found in smooth muscle?
no :)
What tissue has intercalated disc?
cardia muscle
What is the junction between cardiac cells?
Desmosomes and gap junctions But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs" singular: INTERCALATED DISC plural: INTERCALATED DISCS
What is the junctions between cardiac muscle cells?
Desmosomes and gap junctions But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs" singular: INTERCALATED DISC plural: INTERCALATED DISCS
Which component of the intercalated disc is a junction that provides the intercellular communication required for the myocardium to perform as a functional syncytium?
The gap junction is the component of the intercalated disc that provides intercellular communication essential for myocardial cells to function as a syncytium. Gap junctions allow for the passage of ions and small molecules between adjacent cardiac muscle cells, synchronizing their electrical and mechanical activities.
The band that occurs where two cardiac muscle cells join together?
Intercalated disc is the band that occurs where two cardiac muscle cells join together. It contains gap junctions that allow for communication and coordination of contractions between adjacent cells.
What are the two types of cellular junctions found at intercalated disc?
Cardiac muscle is network of branched fibers (cells) connected by gap junctions called intercalated disks.
Which component of the intercalated disc is a strong intercellular junction that functions to keep cells from being pulled apart during contraction?
Desmosomes
How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart?
The structure of the heart is very complex. Cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart make up part of this very complex system
What is the purpose of intercalated discs in cardiac muscle tissue?
An intercalated disc forms connections between neighboring cells in the heart. Two types of connections are formed at each intercalated disc, which connects the cell membranes of two myocytes (heart muclse cells). One is a physical connect and the other is a chemical link. These allow the heart to beat as if it is almost one cell. Other factors slow the coordination so that the heart muscle will contract top to bottom.
Where are intercalated disc found?
Intercalated discs are found in cardiac muscle tissue, specifically at the junction between adjacent cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells). They contain specialized structures that facilitate communication and coordination between cells, allowing for synchronized contraction of the heart.
