1. Autonomic Nervous System

   Linked via "cardiac muscle"

   Anatomical Organization and Efferent Pathways
   The $\text{ANS}$ utilizes a two-neuron chain to connect the Central Nervous System ($\text{CNS}$) to the target effector organ. The first neuron, originating in the $\text{CNS}$, is the preganglionic neuron, whose axon extends to an autonomic ganglion. The second neuron, the postganglionic neuron, originates in this ganglion and terminates on the [smooth muscle](/entries/smooth-muscle…

2. Dyad

   Linked via "cardiac muscle"

   Physiological Application (Skeletal and Cardiac Muscle)
   In modern biological nomenclature, the term dyad refers to a specific ultrastructural arrangement within striated muscle tissue, particularly cardiac muscle. This usage stems from the concept of two functionally related components interacting across a junction.
   A muscle dyad consists of two key elements:

3. Dyad

   Linked via "cardiac muscle"

   Comparison to the Triad
   In fast-twitch skeletal muscle, the arrangement is known as a triad (muscle-physiology)/), consisting of one T-tubule flanked by two terminal cisternae (one on each side). The cardiac muscle dyad is structurally simplified in comparison, reflecting the differing metabolic demands and contraction speeds between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle fibers $[6]$.
