Q

Why does cardiac muscle tissue have intercalated discs?

A

Cardiac Muscle cells are not “fused” together, and intercalated discs (gap junctions) link the cells together and define their borders. Also, Intercalated discs are the major way cardiac cells communicate with each other , which is required for coordinated muscle contraction and maintenance of circulation.

Q

Describe axons and dendrites and the differences between the two

A

Axons

  • Each neuron has only 1 axon
  • They are very long, and only branch out at their ends
  • Usually surrounded by myelin sheath, but not always
  • Have a uniform diameter
  • carry nerve impulses away from the cell body

Dendrites

  • Each neuron has several dendrites
  • Very short, and they branch out all along, unlike axons
  • non-myelinated
  • Have a tapering diameter
  • Carry nerve impulses towards the cell body
