I think, heart of a cockroach is myogenic. It can stop anytime. That's why even when the heart stops doesn't mean cockroach is dying.

What is the difference between myogenic and neurogenic muscle?
The myogenic heart refers to the contractile part of it, while the neurogenic heart refers to the highly specialized muscle cells that no longer contract but instead conduct impulses in the heart.
What is a neurogenic heart and found in whom among these 1.rabbit 2.humans 3.rat 4.limulus?
limulus - all mammals (and vertebrates) have a myogenic heart
Is Human heart is myogenic or neurogenic?
In the human heart, contraction is initiated by a special modified heart muscle known as sinoatrial node. It is located in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent power of generating a wave of contraction and controlling the heart beat. Hence, it is known as the pacemaker. Since the heart beat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the heart itself, the human heart is termed myogenic. The hearts of vertebrates and molluscs are also myogenic.
Does cardiac muscle have neurogenic contractile ability?
No, it has myogenic contractile ability. Source: Physiology book
Is toad's heart is myogenic?
Yes, a toad's heart is myogenic.
What are myogenic cells?
A myogenic heart is a heart that can naturally contract and relax and doesn't need to receive impulses from a nerve to make it contract. your heart is a Myogenic heart
Why do you call your heart myogenic?
The heart is known to be myogenic because the muscles that contract the heart through a pulse are themselves called myocytes.
What is an example of a neurogenic heart?
A neurogenic heart is a heart that uses signals that are external to the heart in order to induce it and can be found in the majority of invertebrates and arthropods.
What is myogenic heart?
So the word "myogenic" refers to a type of cell, a myocyte, that is able to contract by itself, without any nerve stimulation (aka signals from the brain). So if someone refers to a myogenic heart, that person just means that the heart is able to beat on its own, without you willing it to beat. The myocytes within the heart regulate the heart's contractions instead of your brain doing it.
Is a crocodile's heart neurogenic?
No
Who is found neurogenic heart?
arthropods.
What is a neurogenic heart?
A heart who's activity is controlled by nerves.
