A cardiac muscle cell is: A. a voluntary muscle just like skeletal muscle. B. contracts spontaneously. C. is joined to other cardiac muscle cells by structures called intercalated discs. D. has numerous nuclei. E. Two of the statements above are correct

E. Two of the statements above are correct i.e. options B and C

Explanation:

Cardiac muscles, also known as myocardium, are one of the three types of muscles found in the heart (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscles). Cardiac muscle cells are striated and branched in structure, with only one nucleus located centrally i.e. mono-nucleated.

Unlike the skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles controlled by certain parts of the brain. The cells that make up the cardiac muscles are connected to one another by structures called intercalated discs. Also, cardiac muscle cells contract spontaneously i.e. internally. Hence, options B and C are correct

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
