Biology

ycow [4]3 years ago

Answer:

Cardiac muscle tissue

Explanation:

Myocardium or heart muscle is a special type of muscle (differ than striated and smooth) and it is the main tissue of the walls of the heart.

Heart muscle consists of individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) which are joined together by intercalated discs. It also contains  collagen fibres and other substances that form the extracellular matrix.

Heart muscle has a "special" mode of contraction: action potential triggers the release of calcium ions from the cell's internal store, the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

In cardiac muscle

a. an action potential spreads throughout the Z discs.

b. intercalated discs connect the muscle fibers together.

c. calcium enters the cell from storage chambers called intercalated discs.

d. potassium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Answer:

b. intercalated discs connect the muscle fibers together.

Explanation:

Intercalated discs are components of the muscles found in the heart(cardiac muscles).

Intercalated discs join the cardiomyoctes (muscle cells or fibers) together so that they can function as one and transmit signals amongst themselves during the contraction of the heart.

Intercalated discs are made of up desmosomes and gap junctions.

Intercalated discs are found on the lining of the sacromere and can only be seen by using a microscope to observe the longitudinal section of the heart tissue.
