| The muscle cells between some smooth muscles are linked together by junctions known as | gap junctions |
| Where skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles, the smooth muscles are | involuntary |
| Single-unit smooth muscle cells are interconnected by | gap junctions |
| The ends of cardiac muscle cells are connected to one another by gap junctions in | intercalated disks |
