cardiac muscles
a
Cardiac muscles are involuntary, cross striated & non-fatigued fibres. 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 neighbouring cells are also stimulated to contract.
