Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) are striated, branched, contain many mitochondria, and are under involuntary control. Each myocyte contains a single, centrally located nucleus and is surrounded by a cell membrane known as the sarcolemma.
Detailed explanation-2: -An intercalated disc allows the cardiac muscle cells to contract in a wave-like pattern so that the heart can work as a pump. Intercalated discs are part of the sarcolemma and contain two structures important in cardiac muscle contraction: gap junctions and desmosomes.
