Cardiac muscle differs from skeletal muscle by the presence of:
Correct option is C, Gap junctions. In Tissue-2, the accurate description is Gap junctions, and that is what you should commit to memory. Keep the definition tight and the role clear — Gap junctions is the option that correctly names the structure, process, or principle asked for in Tissue-2. Then Gap junctions is the answer you can defend. Check yourself by covering the options and writing the answer first, then matching the letter — that builds confidence. If the wording feels dense, translate it into everyday language first, then map that plain sentence back onto Gap junctions. Remember that physiology questions reward precise language: name the process, the location, and the outcome, then match that to the option text.
Ref: Animal physiology is Unit 7 of the CSIR NET Life Science Syllabus, covering core body systems. It accounts for roughly 10% of the total marks in Sections B and C.
