* Use a low magnification to find a part of the tissue in which the cardiac muscle cells are cut longitudinally. | |||
* At high magnification you should see striations and the large nuclei of the cardiac muscle cells. | |||
* Follow the course of individual cardiac muscle cells you will note fine, dark blue lines which seem to cross the fibres. | |||
* These are the '''intercalated discs''' which connect the individual muscle cells and permit the conduction of electrical impulses between the cells. | |||
