What two kinds of cells that perform specialized functions in humans?
Neurons, sarcomeres, osteoblasts, and cardiac muscle cells all have specialized functions performed by no other cells.

What organ in the body has specialized cells that work together to form cardiac muscle tissue?
Answer for anyone looking is the fact that the cardiac muscle never stops, it cannot, otherwise you would die.
What is a group of muscle cells called?
Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts. Muscle cells are found in several specialized forms such as Cardiac, skeletal or smooth muscles etc.Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue.

The specialized membranes that permit electric impulses to pass between cardiac muscle cells are called?
sarcomeres.
The main structural difference that cardiac muscle have that other two types dont?
Intercalated discs. These are specialized cell junctions which link the cardiac muscle cells electrically and mechanically together. Impulses are distributed immediately and simultaneously so that cardiac muscle cells contract as a single unit.
What cells make up the myocardium?
Most of the myocardium is composed of cardiac myocytes.
What are the properties of cardiac cells?
Cardiac muscle is a striated, involuntary muscle. Cardiac muscle cells usually contain 1 or 2 nuclei.
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
The muscle cells which commonly branch are the cardiac muscle cells. The other muscles do not have any branched cells.
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
Why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage?
Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.
