Desmosomes - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

cardiocytes - ANSWER contractile cells of the heart desmosomes - ANSWER attach cardiocytes together. When one cell contracts, the other will not separate. Think of them like glue between the cells. Connected via gap junctions Electrical and chemical coupling The heart muscle acts as a single functional unit If you had designed a heart, in which the heart muscle cells can contract in unison, what would you do? - ANSWER Innervate only a few muscle cells and have them attach to each other...

What do you think would happen if the elastic fibers in tissues were distensible but not elastic? - ANSWER This would cause the tissues to be unable to resume their original shape and size once the stretching forces were removed. Predict what would happen if the tight junctions in blood vessels were not functional. - ANSWER Tight junctions make the spaces between the cells relatively impermeable to water and many solutes. Nonfunctional tight junctions in blood vessels would allow much of the ...
