While the heart is technically hollow, it is still a muscle. Its fibers are able to contract and move, which is the identifying quality of muscles, and gives it the ability to pump blood.
Generally speaking, the heart is mostly made of muscle tissue and blood vessels.
"Myo-" means muscle and "-cardium" means heart. So myocardium is heart muscle. It's the stuff that actually does the work of contracting the heart to pump blood around.
No. The heart is made of muscle but consists of pumps working side by side
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
Your heart is a cardiac muscle which means it never stops and works on its own.
epicardium = the top layer that is actually 2 layers myocardium= the middle layer also the muscle endcardium= the inner most layer that separates blood from muscle
the heart is made out of a special type of muscle called cardiac muscle
The heart is a cardiac muscle
The heart is a muscle.
There is 2 main cardiac muscles. The heart, which pumps blood; and all the arteries in your body, which are actually a muscle because they squeeze in sync with your heart rate to keep your blood flowing
The muscle layer of the heart is the myocardium (or cardiac muscle).
The heart is a muscle so the heart is made of the cardiac muscle.
