उत्तर
Cardiac muscle tissue is contractile tissue present only in the heart. Cell junctions fuse the plasma membranes of cardiac muscle cells and make them stick together. Communication junctions (intercalated discs) at some fusion points allow the cells to contract as a unit, i.e. when one cell receives a signal to contract, its neighbours are also stimulated to contract.
