The fact that many cells in the cardiovascular system are coupled via gap junctions enables direct intercellular Ca2+ signalling. Ca2+ ions and/or inositol trisphosphate (IP3) can pass through these aqueous pores. Cell-cell coupling can occur between cells of the same type, or via special junctions...
