digitalis , digoxin
well it work on the Na+ K+ pump & decrease it
,so it will increase Na+ intracellularly & thus will effect Na+ Ca+ exchange & decrease it cuz the Ca+ is already increased intracellularly it dose not need to be increased more ,so Ca+ will increase which will effect the initiation of action potential like the drug digoxin "digitalis" it will rise the heart rate & increase the conductivity of the heart

The contractility of cardiac muscles can be increased by the sympathetic nervous system (through noradrenalin/nor-epinephrin), caffeine and certain drugs (such as cardiac glycosides, β agonists, phosphodiesterase inhibitors and calcium sensitisers).
All of these substances cause an increase in intracellular calcium - which is the key to increasing contractility.
The amount of cytosolic Ca++ released during the excitation sequence is the major determinant of the strength of the contraction of the myocardial tissue.
A common cause could be either hypertension, on the left side. Or COPD (chronic obstructive pulomary disease) if it occurs on the right side of the heart..
It doesn't - "contractility" refers to the force generated at any given length of muscle. Therefore although the force of contraction does increase with filling, the contractility does not.The reason the force of contraction increases with filling is because filling stretches the heart muscles. Increased stretch causes an increase in force of contraction.Contractility changes because of changes in the level of intracellular calcium. This can be changed by things such as adrenalin (epinephrine), which increases contractility and β blockers, which decrease contractility.
Adrenalin (epinephrine) and noradrenalin (epinephrine) both work in the same way to increase the contractility of cardiac myocytes.They bind to a receptor on the surface of the cell (a β GPCR), which causes the activation of adenyl cyclase. This then increases the amount of cAMP in the cell, which allows for the phosphorylation and opening of voltage-operated calcium channels. This allows an influx of calcium into the cell, triggering the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.The increase of intracellular calcium is what causes the increase in contractility. Calcium is vital for cardiac muscle contraction - as it binds troponin and therefore allows cross-bridges to form between myosin and actin. Contraction then occurs.
auto-rhythmic cardiac muscle
The heart is an involuntary muscle.Involuntary muscles are smooth muscles that are not directly controllable at will. Voluntary muscles are controllable like those found in your arms, legs, hands, etc.
Muscles allow the body to move. There is your basic answer. To give more information, you have three types of muscles. They are skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. Your skeletal muscles are attached to your skeletal system as the name implies. The smooth muscles are all muscles that aren't skeletal muscles or cardiac muscles such as your diaphragm, which controls breathing, and stomach, which causes the stomach's contraction and expansion. Your cardiac muscles control the heart's beat. So as far as the purpose of the muscles system, is to keep you alive. Without it, you could not move, digest food, or circulate blood throughout your body.

The myofibres cause skeletal and cardiac muscles to appear striated because they are cyndrical and long, extending across the entire surface of the muscle.
Because muscles have such a hard task. The only muscle in your body that does not get tired is your cardiac muscle also known as your HEART
There are three types of muscles:Skeletal muscle- Muscle of exterior (ex. triceps, biceps)Smooth muscle- Muscle of interior organs (ex. lungs, stomach)Cardiac muscle- Muscle of heart (ex. heart)
Function: -contraction of the atria and ventricle of the heart, causes beating of heart
The heat causes the circulatory system to "open up", increasing blood flow to the warmed muscles. The increased blood flow helps bring nutrients to the muscles and helps remove waste.
Yes, cardiac muscles cells have a very high oxygen demand, since they are constantly in motion. This is why any shortage of oxygen causes angina, or if the oxygen deprivation is long enough, it causes death of the muscle cells - what is commonly called a heart attack.
