How Intercalated Discs Make Your Heart BeatHow Intercalated Discs Sync Your Heartbeat
- Microscopic identifying features of cardiac muscleIntercalated discs or lines of Eberth are microscopic identifying features of cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle consists of individual heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) connected by intercalated discs to work as a single functional syncytium. By contrast, skeletal muscle consists of multinucleated muscle fibers and exhibits no intercalated discs.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercalated_disc
