What is the functional significance of large areas of cardiac muscle being electrically coupled to form a single functional syncytium?
Because they form a syncytium, cardiac muscles can contract on their own
Because they form a syncytium, muscle cells can pass an action potential along a large area of the heart wall, stimulating contraction in each muscle fiber of the syncytium
Because they form a syncytium, muscle cells cannot summate contraction to produce tetanus, and thus do not fatigue
Because they form a syncytium, cardiac muscle cells can pass an action potential by way of internodal bundles contracting both atrial chambers

How would muscle contraction affect lymphokinetic action?

Muscle relaxation following a contraction decreased lymphatic pressure, allowing lymph more space within the vessels to flow
The same neural impulses that signal a muscle to contract also signal lymphatic vessels to constrict and force lymph to flow in one direction
