Cardiocytes are connected by structures called
They include fascia aherens, which are actin and myosin filaments attached
to plasma membranes and weld-like structures called
The cytoplasms between adjacent cells are connected through
which permit ions to pass from one cell to the next. The movement of ions between adjacent cells is exceptionally important
as it allows all cardiocytes in a chamber wall to depolarize, and subsequently
simultaneously.
