How many functional syncytium are in heart?
Only one. The entire heart works together as a functional syncytium. It is generally referring to the electrical conduction and blood flow through the heart working together as one unit.
How does the cardiac muscle work as a functional syncytium?
cardiac muscle operates as a functional syncytium, although it's not a true syncytium, because each myocardial cell has its own nucleus within its own membrane. Cardiac muscle functions as a syncytium due to the presence of low resistance connections between adjacent cells, and when an action potential is generated, the atria or the ventricle contract together.
What is a functional syncytium?
Cardiac muscle cells are mechanically, chemically, and electrically connected to one another, thus, the entire tissue resembles a single, enormous muscle cell. For this reason, cardiac muscle has been called a functional syncytium. This is also true of smooth muscle.
What word describe a multinucleated cell?

Whats the word for cells with many nuclei?

Does phylum porifera have a heart?
No, they are sponges. Actually they are the only animal phyla that does not have any "true tissues".
Do smooth or skeletal muscle form a functional syncytium?
visceral smooth muscles cells function together as ONE (functional syncytium) multiunit smooth muscle act independently.
A mass of interconnected cardiac muscle cells that act as a unit constitutes a what?
a mass of merging cardiac cells that act as a unit is called functional syncytium. two of these are in the heart (atrial walls, and ventricular walls)
When was True Heart created?
True Heart was created in 1997.
What is a mass of interconnected cardiac muscle cells that act together as a group?
functional syncytium
