      • Cardiac muscle fibers have a single nucleus, are branched, and joined to one another by intercalated discs that contain gap junctions for depolarization between cells and desmosomes to hold the fibers together when the heart contracts.

    Nov 23, 2022 · The fibers are separated by collagenous tissue that supports the capillary network of cardiac tissue. The myofilaments of cardiac muscle are arranged in a similar pattern to skeletal muscle, resulting in cross-striations. The fibers are crossed by linear bands called intercalated discs.

    Cardiac muscle fibers cells also are extensively branched and are connected to one another at their ends by intercalated discs. An intercalated disc allows the cardiac muscle cells to contract in a wave-like pattern so that the heart can work as a pump. Cardiac Muscle Tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart.
