Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intercalated discs are specialized cell-to-cell junctions found in cardiac muscle tissue that connect adjacent muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) both electrically and mechanically. They transfer ionic currents, action potentials, the force of contraction, and small molecules between cells. However, Z-lines are not transferred across intercalated discs as they are structural components of individual muscle cells.
