KROK 1 2012 – Question 20 · KROK (Medicine) · Histology, Cytology, and Embryology
A microspecimen of heart shows rectangular cells from 50 to 120 mcm large with central position of nucleus, developed myofibrils. The cells are connected by intercalated discs. These cells are responsible for the following function:
- A. Protective
- B. Function of impulse conduction
- C. Regeneratory
- D. Function of heart contractions
- E. Endocrine
Hint
Link the described features, especially the abundance of well-developed myofibrils, to the principal work done by this cell type.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
