Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Muscle cells are differentiated based on the physiology and function, such as skeletal, cardiac and smooth. These muscle cells are composed of large number of muscle fibers which provide the mechanical and physical strength of the organisms.

Cell junctions are intercellular bridge between the two cells. They enable the cellular communication movement between the cells and resist the cell under stress conditions. They have different types which include the plasmodesmata, gap junctions, tight junctions and desmosomes.
