What is cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a type of highly oxidative (using molecular oxygen to generate energy) involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function
MI is commonly called heart attack damage to cardiac muscle because of a lack of blood supply true or false?
True, a myocardial infarction is the term for a heart attack and is caused by a lack of blood supply to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.

What doesnt belong blood smooth cardiac skeletal?
blood. skeletal, cardiac, and smooth are three types of muscle tissue
Which type of muscle allows the heart to pump blood within the cardiovascular system?

What is the function of a cardiac muscle?
Helps in pumping the blood
