Is the Cardiac muscle appears striated and is completely voluntary?
cardiac muscle is striated cardiac muscle is not voluntary
What does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle fibres contain GAP JUNCTION in the intercalated disc which makes them to function as a FUNCTIONAL SYNCYTIUM
What does the cardiac muscle provide?
The cardiac muscle is also known as the heart. The heart function is to pump blood around the body.
What level of organization is the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a tissue. It's a group of cells working together for a common function.
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
What is the function of the cardiac muscle?
Function: -contraction of the atria and ventricle of the heart, causes beating of heart
Function of cardiac muscles?
The function of cardiac muscle is to pump blood.
How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart?
The structure of the heart is very complex. Cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart make up part of this very complex system
What is potassiums function?
Potassium maintains proper fluid balance, nerve impulse function, muscle function, and cardiac function.
What is the specific function of the cardiac muscle?
contraction of the atria and ventricle of the heart, causes beating of heart.
What is the function of cross?
Cross-striations form cardiac muscle. The crossed formation makes the tissue and muscle stronger.
How does lack of oxygen lead to heart attack or stroke?
The myocard (cardiac muscle), the muscle that makes your heart pump, needs oxygen to function. This oxygen is distributed through the blood that flows in the coronary arteries, which lie around the cardiac muscle. When there is not enough oxygen in your blood, the cardiac muscle does not get enough oxygen to fully function and your heart will not be able to function, over time. This starts at about 3 minutes after stopping to get oxygen.
