Inside, they have myofibrils, and transverse-tubule system‒ similar to that in skeletal muscle. The special thing is: the large number of gap junctions at the intercalated discs, make the cardiac muscle a syncytium. The atrial and ventricular syncytium are separated by fibrous tissue‒ called the atrioventricular ring. Excitatory and conductive fibers, play a role in controlling rhythm, and don't participate in the contractile process much.
