Cardiac muscle LOCATIONS: walls of heart (myocardium)
APPERANCE: striated with branched cells, single nuclei, and intercalated discs FUNCTIONS: involuntary beating of heart Nucleus Cardiac muscle cells Intercalated discs are made of gap junctions AND desmosomes (like rivets) Intercalated discs Striations Cardiac muscle
