Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The fibers are crossed by linear bands called intercalated discs. These structures have two important roles. Firstly, they provide attachment points that provides the tissue with a characteristic branched pattern. Secondly, they allow cardiac muscle tissue to function as a functional syncytium.
Detailed explanation-2: -The intercalated discs are known to provide a scaffold for myofibrils and allow for rapid spread of contractile stimuli between cells (Gutstein et al. 2003; Goossens et al. 2007). The rapid spread of such contraction allows cardiac muscles to act as a functional syncytium.
