What Makes Muscle Cells Different From Other Cells? Muscle fibers contain the major organelles present in most cells. The most striking difference between muscle cells and the majority of other cells is their multinucleated nature. Depending on its size, an individual fiber may contain hundreds of nuclei. What makes muscle cells unique? The structure of
Where Is Intercalated Discs Found? Intercalated discs are located at the longitudinal ends of cardiomyocyte to form cell–cell coupling critical in propagation of action potentials. Both Cx43 gap junctions and voltage-gated sodium channels are present at intercalated discs. Where are intercalated discs located? Intercalated discs are unique structural formations found between the myocardial cells of
What Is A Cardiomyocyte? Cardiomyocytes are the cells in the heart that make it contract. There are several different kinds of cardiomyocytes in the heart. By investigating how they form (or differentiate) in the early embryo, it has been possible to develop ways of making them from some types of stem cell. What makes a
