Gap Junctions
Discovered by J.P. Revel & M.J. Karnovsky in 1967
- allowing direct communication between cells (open & close)
- close membranes 2 - 3 nm apart
- connexins form hollow 1.5 nm diameter cylinders
- heart muscle, smooth muscle electrical and chemical integration as a single functional unit
- Also in embryonic development (see Blastocyst Development)
