Detailed Solution

Intercalated discs are observed in cardiac muscle.Intercalated discs are found at the junctions between cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes). They contain various types of cell junctions, including desmosomes and gap junctions. Desmosomes provide structural support and help anchor adjacent cells together, while gap junctions facilitate rapid electrical communication between cells, allowing coordinated contraction of the entire myocardium. These intercalated discs play a crucial role in the synchronised contraction of the heart, enabling it to pump blood efficiently.
