Cardiac muscle cells are similar because they have striations which are strands of actin and myosin filaments. They also have mitochondria, transverse tubules, and sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Cardiac muscle is different from skeletal muscle in that the muscle is branching, with intercalated dicks at the ends of them, store less calcium, the transverse tubules are larger, and their twitches are longer. Also, the entire cardiac muscle contracts as a whole, regulates itself, and is rhythmic.

How is cardiac muscle similar both muscle smooth and skeletal muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.

In what kind of cells would you expect to see the most mitochondria?
In Very active cells like skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells
What is cardiac smooth muscle?
There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
How is cardiac muscle similar to smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
How many nuclei does cardiac muscle have?
Yes. Skeletal muscle tissue, just like any other living tissue is made up of millions of cells. Each cell contains a nucleus.
How do skeletal and cardiac muscles differ?
cardiac is uni/binucleate, has intercalated discs, and is has branching fibers, skeletal is multinucleate and is long and cylindrically shaped.Skeletal muscle is found in the arms and legs and also other parts of your body. For skeletal muscle to contract it needs to be independly stimulated by a nerve ending. Cardiac muscle is a involantry muscle within the heart which automaticly contracts because of its self- excitable cells. It is a muscle which does NOT produce lactic acide ( normally) and it does not need a nerve to stimulate it to contract
Specifically what is responsible for the banding pattern in skeletal muscle cells?
Prosomes form sarcomere-like banding patterns in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells.Actin and Myosin proteins
Which type of muscle is most like cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle, most similar to skeletal muscle which is voluntary and striated.
