Q
  1. Which feature typifies T-tubules://
A

T-tubules permit rapid transmission of the action potential into the cell, and also play an important role in regulating cellular calcium concentration.T-tubules allow heart muscle cells to contract more forcefully by synchronising calcium release throughout the cell.
