The cardiac muscle has intercalated disk that allows rapid transmission of the impulse. This will allow the cardiac muscle to have a coordinated way. The heart muscle has pacemaker that will spread the signal in regular time. The transmission of impulse is also controlled by a few checkpoint like the bundle of his to make the signal to the Purkinje fiber of left and right ventricle at the same time.

Explanation:

Archaea and bacteria are different in the qualities of the cell wall and in the lipid composition of their cell membranes
<em>Bacterial cell dividers contain peptidoglycan</em>
Archaean cell wall don't have peptidoglycan, yet they may have <em>, polysaccharides, glycoproteins, or protein-based cell dividers </em>
