Between the ends of adjacent cardiac muscle cells are specialised intercellular junctions called INTERCALATED DISCS (shown right). These are irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma that contain structures called DESMOSOMES. Desmosomes are like spot-rivets, that hold adjacent cardiac muscle fibres together.
The cells that constitute cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, contain only three nuclei. The myocardium is the muscle tissue of the heart, and forms a thick middle layer between the outer epicardium layer and the inner endocardium layer.ardiac muscle cells, unlike most other tissues in the body, rely on an available blood and electrical supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries help fulfill this function.
