Assertion: cardiac muscle's cell | /r/HasProperty | connected by intercalated discs
Facets:
Source sentences:
text: These contractile cells are connected by intercalated discs which allow a rapid response to impulses of action potential from the pacemaker cells.
text: Branched cells are connected via intercalated discs
text: cardiac vs. skeletal muscle cardiac vs. skeletal muscle - unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is branched: one cardiac muscle cell will branch out and attach to three or four other cardiac muscle cells (cells are connected at intercalated disks where there are many gap junctions - ensure cells will contract at almost the same time)
text: This transmission of impulses makes cardiac muscle tissue similar to nerve tissue, although the cells are connected by intercalated discs, which conduct electrical potentials directly, rather than the chemical synapses used by neurons.
text: The cells are connected via intercalated discs.
