The area of low electrical resistance that allows an action potential to spread from one cardiac cell to surrounding cells is called a gap junction.

Answer: C 
 Functional syncytium is a term used to describe the coordinated electrical activity of cardiac muscle cells, allowing them to contract together as a unit.

Answer: D 
 A heart valve is a structure that regulates the flow of blood through the chambers of the heart.

Answer: E 
 The pericardial sac is a protective membrane that encloses the heart and helps to prevent friction between the heart and surrounding structures.
