What is the cardiac muscle?
thick and thin bands (lines) of filaments.
What makes chloroplasts plant cells?
I think it is the heart; I may be wrong
What can go wrong if melanocyte cells not working?
i dont know ...thats why im asking
What can go wrong if your nerve cells are not working?
Remember that there are nerve cells in the brain as well as the rest of the body. If they don't work, death will be the end result.
How is cardiac muscles used?
Involuntary muscles are those which function without the need for conscious thought or effort. The heart beats without having to be thought about for it to beat. As a contrasting example, the act of typing this answer is a form of voluntary muscle movement, actively thinking about moving fingers to specific keys on a keyboard.
How can an EKG be used in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease?
An EKG shows the rhythm of the heart, the individual parts that are working, and can help detect heart abnormalities. For example, if something is abnormal with the P Wave, something may be wrong with the Atria. If something looks abnormal with the QRS complex, something may be wrong with the ventricles.

When was No Man in His Wrong Heart created?
No Man in His Wrong Heart was created in 1998.
What could wrong if you're an overweight 22-year-old smoker and your heart flutters when you're trying to sleep?
It probably doesn't mean death, and some heart fluttering can be normal, but it goes without saying that losing weight and quitting smoking will ease the stress on your body. The heart is a muscle, just like any other in your body. However, it's the only muscle that must be working in order to keep you alive. Smoking and excess weight put a strain not only on the heart but the lungs and arteries as well. Treat yourself well, take care of your body and the stress of wondering if you're seriously ill will fade away.
When was Love Songs for the Wrong at Heart created?
Love Songs for the Wrong at Heart was created in 2004.
What can go wrong with your heart?
heart attack,diabetes
What happens to the electrical impulse after its been triggered?
Warning : Use the following information at your own risk. While accuracy is one my goals, there is always the possibility that some of the information could be wrong. There could be typos. I could also be severely mistaken in some of my knowledge. This site is meant to help clarify certain concepts of ECG and at no point should any life-or-death decision be made based upon the information contained within. Remember, this is just some page on the internet. (If you do find errors, please notify me by feedback.)Heart muscleMuscles cells are told to contract by electrical impulses. In addition to the ability to contract, muscle cells can conduct these electrical impulses to neighboring cells. In fact, some specialized muscle cells in the heart do nothing except conduction.There are three types of muscle tissue in your body : skeletal (a.k.a. voluntary) muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Your biceps are an example of skeletal muscle. Another skeletal muscle is the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the big muscle that separates your chest cavity from your abdominal cavity. When it is time to breathe in, your brain sends a signal down a nerve which tells the diaphragm to contract. This in turn causes the chest to expand and air to rush in the lungs. The brain thus controls every breath you take (as well as every move you make). People who receiveinjury to their spinal cord above a certain level might damage this nerve and consequently lose the ability to breathe on their own.Your heart is different than the diaphragm. It tells itself to beat; it is the master of its own destiny. It does not require the brain. That's not to say the brain cannot influence the heart; indeed, your brain gives your heart advice on when to speedup and when to slow down. In one of the Indiana Jones movies, the evil cult leader punches through a man's chest and rips out his still beating heart. While I imagine the punching and ripping-the-heart-out aspects of the film are impossible, the fact that the heart still beats is not pure Hollywood fiction.What tells the heart to beat? Pacemakers do. (When I use the word pacemaker, you should assume that I am referring to the heart's natural pacemakers. I will call those man-made devices artificial pacemakers.) What are pacemakers exactly? They are special muscle cells in the heart that fire themselves after a certain amount of time has elapsed. This property is called automaticity. The normal pacemaker is the sinus pacemaker, which usually fires between 60 and 100 times a minute.The pacemaker generates the electrical impulse and sends it to its neighboring heart muscle cells. These cells then, in turn, conduct to neighboring cells.The normal contractile cells of the heart will do two things :Conduct. This means that it can spread the signal to the neighbors. I will generally use the term electrical to refer to this aspect of the heart cells.Contract. Contraction is what muscles do, and in the heart, the contraction is what makes the heart beat. When it beats, it is actually moving in an organized pattern that pumps (squeezes) the blood in a certain direction. I will refer to this as the heart's mechanical ability.Other heart muscle cells are specialized for conduction only.While all these conduction cells are muscle, it might be helpful to break them down according to function and location :Sinus (SA) node - conduction onlyAtria muscle - contraction and conductionAtrioventricular (AV) node - conduction onlyBundle of His - conduction onlyBundle branches - conduction onlyPurkinje fibers - conduction onlyVentricular muscle - contraction and conductionWhen talking about the general region of the AV node and the bundle of His, we refer to it as the AV junction.An ECG says nothing about the contraction of the heart cells. In fact, it is possible for heart cells to lose their contraction ability while maintaining the conduction. Thus, a person may show a perfectly normal ECG without having a heart beat. Even if the heart is beating, there is no guarantee that there is any blood to pump. You can only measure the pulse by mechanical means (e.g. pressing your finger against the artery in the patient's neck or wrist). Don't ever forget this.Once upon a time (1800's and before), scientist were not that familiar with the underlying electrical system that control the heart. The main thing that was measured was the pulse. The terms bradycardia and tachycardia were given to signify a slow and fast pulse, respectively. There is somewhat of a danger in using these words with ECG interpretation in that we are seeming to imply the presence of a pulse when we describe an electrical pattern. If I use the term "beats per minute", be sure to adapt it to whatever context. It would probably be more accurate to say "ventricular depolarizations per minute," but I will not.When a heart cell contracts, it does not occur the same instance it is signaled to do so. While a fraction of a second may seem "instantaneous" to us, it is not to the heart.
