Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls and histologic foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle, called myocardiocyteal muscle cells, are mononuclear, like smooth muscle cells.[1]
Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex of actions makes up the systole of the heart
Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue existing under control of the somatic nervous system. As its name suggests, most skeletal muscle is attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons.
Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. It is divided into two sub-groups; the single-unit (unitary) and multiunit smooth muscle. Within single-unit smooth muscle tissues, the autonomic nervous system innervates a single cell within a sheet or bundle and the action potential is propagated by gap junctions to neighboring cells such that the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium (i.e., a multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that is not separated into cells). Multiunit smooth muscle tissues innervate individual cells; as such, they allow for fine control and gradual responses, much like motor unit recruitment in skeletal muscle.
What else can I help you with?
What are some different types of muscles?
There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.
Is the skeletal muscle a smooth muscle?
no skeletal muscles are voluntary smooth muscles are not
What are the different muscles in your body?
There are different categories of muscle in the body. Smooth, Cardiac, and skeletal muscles.
Which type of muscle is most frequent in your bodies?
Probably skeletal muscle but smooth muscle would be a close second.
What kind of muscle can you consciously contro smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
There are three types of muscles. Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are the only ones you can voluntarily control.
What are the different in your body?
There are different categories of muscle in the body. Smooth, Cardiac, and skeletal muscles.
How is cardiac muscle similar to both smooth and skeletal muscles?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
Which type of muscle are voluntary?
Skeletal muscles are. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are involuntary.
What muscles are striated muscles?
please help me with this answer. :) its cardiac and skeletal, only skeletal, smooth and skeletal, or smooth and cardiac 1 of thoses The skeletal muscle is striated.
Is the smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Smooth muscles are involuntary, as are cardiac muscles. Only skeletal muscles are voluntary.
Are involuntary muscles smooth muscle or skeletal muscle?
Involuntary muscles (such as the heart, the sphincters, etc.) are traditionally smooth muscle.
Give examples of three types of muscles?
Skeletal muscle: Found attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements like peristalsis.
