Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The reason why intercalated discs are important to cardiac muscle function.

Introduction:

Cardiac muscles are muscles that are found associated with the heart. Their structural and physiological properties are different from that of the skeletal muscles. Cardiac muscle cells can be otherwise referred to as cardiomyocytes. They are short and have only 1-2 nuclei.

Blurred answer
