This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 36. Cardiac Muscle, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Diads instead of triads, Syncytium via Intercalated disks, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Temporal summation also not possible, CARDIAC MUSCLE respond to Action potentials, Desmin insert Mechanically hold fibers together, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Non-elastic at rest, Striated like Skeletal muscle, Desmin an Intermediate fillament (CaTOS-Block1), Much more drug sensitive note Calcium is needed from external sources, Temporal summation also not possible since Twich lasts too long, CARDIAC MUSCLE found in Heart, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Branched cells, Vimentin insert Mechanically hold fibers together, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Syncytium, Fascia adherens contain Vimentin, Intercalated disks with Desosomes, CARDIAC MUSCLE key dfferences from skeletal and smooth muscle Much more drug sensitive, Desosomes where Desmin, Syncytium ie "one unit", Desosomes where Vimentin
