What tissue types found in cirulatory system?
blood is made of erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets. your blood vessels walls are made of smooth muscle. your heart is made of cardiac muscle.
What is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a type of highly oxidative (using molecular oxygen to generate energy) involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function
What is a calcium channel blocker?
Calcium channel blockers are medicines that slow the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels.
Are there bloods cells in the muscle?
not directly but there are blood vessels in between fibers and blood cells are in the vessel.
What is the fuction of the cardiac cell?
Cardiac muscle cells are the cells that make up the cardiac muscle and help to pump blood through your heart. Each of these cells contain myofibrils which are the contractile units of muscle cells. These cells have the ability to produce ATP quickly, making them resistant to fatigue.
What organs have muscle tissue?
The circulatory system = the heart + the blood vessels. The heart is a muscle, but the muscle fibers are slightly different to skeletal muscle. Arteries has a thin layer of muscle cells that surround them so that they can constrict or expand the blood vessels in order to regulate blood pressure.
Where can smooth muscle cells be found?
in organ and blood vessels
What is the function of a cardiac cell?
Cardiac cells are muscle cells that make up the heart (cardiac tissues). When the muscles contract, they force blood out of the ventricles of the heart.
What cells make up the myocardium?
Most of the myocardium is composed of cardiac myocytes.
What kind of tissue is the heart made up of?
Cardiac muscle fibers.
Do all muscle cells contain striations?
Skeletal and cardiac muscles are striated. Smooth muscles found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach and in the walls of blood vessels are unstriated.
What is cardaic muscle cells?
Cardiac muscle (heart 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 cardiomyocytes or myocardiocyteal muscle cells, can contain one, two, or very rarely three or four cell nuclei.[1][2]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.Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.
