Question
“Cell junctions hold the unbranched muscle fibres together and they are bundled together in a connective tissue sheath”.For which of the following muscles, the above given statement is true?Smooth muscleCardiac muscleSkeletal muscleVoluntary muscle
Solution
The statement is true for Cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle cells are connected by cell junctions called intercalated discs, which allow the cells to work as a unit by synchronizing the contraction of the cardiac tissue. These intercalated discs are not found in smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, or voluntary muscle.
