Which type of muscle tissue is autorhythmic?
cardiac muscle
What does auto rhythmic mean?
Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
What does auto-rhythmic mean?
Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
What type of muscle would be considered autorhythmic?
Cardiac muscle
Are autorhythmic cells located only in the interventricular septume?
Not exclusively:Cardiac Muscle cells are either contractile cells or autorhythmic cells. The majority are contractile.Examples of autorhythmic cells:Sinoatrial (SA), or Sinus, NodeAtrioventricular (AV) NodeAtrioventricular (AV) Bundle (occasionally referred to as the bundle of His)Right and Left Bundle BranchesPurkinje Fibers
How do the waves of depolarization generated by the autorhythmic cells spread to the muscle cells?
Gap Junctions in the cell spread the action potential to nearby cells.
What cells make up the myocardium?
Most of the myocardium is composed of cardiac myocytes.
What are the properties of cardiac cells?
Cardiac muscle is a striated, involuntary muscle. Cardiac muscle cells usually contain 1 or 2 nuclei.
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
The muscle cells which commonly branch are the cardiac muscle cells. The other muscles do not have any branched cells.
What type of cells form heart tissues?
Cardiac cells make up cardiac tissue.These cells are only found in heart.
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
