Contractile cells are the smooth muscle cells of the heart that... contract. They get their signal from the nodes within the heart, which spontaneously fire action potentials (because of leak channels).

What special features of muscle cell?
Its contractile ability.
If the contractile vacuole stops working the organism will die what happens in the cell?
The contractile vacuole is the organelle of a protist that empties the fluid out of the cell, if this stops working, then the cell will eventually expand and burst, the scientific term for this is cytolysis :)
What do contractile vacuoles do?
A contractile vacuole is an organelle from a protist cell. It forces water out of the pores to reduce osmotic pressure and prevents the cell from bursting.
What do contractile vacuoles in plants do?
They provide nutrients for the plants. Also help start photosynthesis.
Organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force water out are called?
The organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force it out are called contractile vacuoles. It is primarily involved in osmoregulation and is usually found in protists and unicellular algae.
Where contractile vacuoles are located in amoeba?
contractile vacuoles merge with the cell membrane..
What organelle helps remove excess water?
It is Contractile Vacoule. Contractile Vacoule, a structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell.
Organelle that pumps water out of the cell?
The Contractile Vacoule.
Tiny contractile fibers that are within the cell?
Tiny contractile fibers that are within a cell are called spindle fibers. Spindle fibers separate the chromosomes during cell division.
What is contractile vacuole?
its a type of cell actually
What cell part control the amount of water in the cell?
Contractile Vacuoles
What cell part controls the amount of water in a cell?
Contractile Vacuoles
What cell part controls the amount of water in the cell?
Contractile Vacuoles
What is the role of the contractile vacuole'?
The role of a contractile vacuole is osmoregulation. This will store up excess water in the cell and expel it when needed and therefore creating a balance in the cell.
What is the role of the contractile vacuole?
The role of a contractile vacuole is osmoregulation. This will store up excess water in the cell and expel it when needed and therefore creating a balance in the cell.
What structure expels excess water in the amoeba?
The water content is expelled by the contractile vacuole.
What is the cell name for absorption of water?
The process of absorption of water by cells is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, such as the cell membrane, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
