(pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.

The rhythmic smooth muscle is called the visceral smooth muscle. It is found in the walls of organs such as the intestines, uterus, and blood vessels, and it contracts and relaxes spontaneously to generate rhythmic movements.
The deltoid muscle
Longitudinal and circular muscles. These are known as antagonistic muscles, meaning that one relaxes whilst the other contracts.
- rhythmicity : capability of rhythmic self-excitation therefore no need for external control -conductivity: conduction of action potential along specialised muscle cells. -excitability: ability of muscle fibers to get exited . -contractility; ability of cardiac muscle to contract . It also has a long refractory period meaning it cant tetanus
