Statement 1 : Intercalated discs are important regions of cardiac muscle cells.
Statement 2 : Intercalated discs function as boosters for muscle contraction waves.
Statement-1 and statement-2 are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
Statement-1 and statement-2 are true and ttatement-2 is not a correct explanation for statement-1
Statement-1 is true, and statement-2 is False
Both the statements are false.
Correct Answer :
A. Statement-1 and statement-2 are true and statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1.
Cardiac muscle cells are short cylindrical cells joined end to end and by side branching to form a network. Intercalat discs are the dense junctions formed in between the cardiac muscle cells where they meet each other. Intercalated discs are the specialised regions of the cell membranes. As cardiac muscle possesses considerable rhythmicity and generates its own wave of excitation, these discs function as boosters for muscle contraction wave.
