Multi-unit Smooth Muscle.
Cardiac muscle tissue has gap junctions to allow impulses to travel quickly though the tissue so the two atria can contract as one and the two ventricles can contract as one.
It is uninucleate not because it has one cell, but because each cell in that muscle has 1 nucleus.
no
The type of muscle tissue that have only one or two nuclei per cell are cardiac muscle cells. Their nuclei are located in the center of a cell.
skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei in each cell.
Smooth muscle tissue has a single nucleus in each cell :)
They only have one or two nuclei
Skeletal muscles (the ones in arms, legs and other moving parts of the body) have large numbers of nuclei. They are formed during development by the fusion of many single nucleus myoblastcells . Other muscle cells, like the cardiac muscle cells in the heart or smooth cells in the gut, do not fuse and have only one nucleus. For more information see "Molecular Biology of the Cell" published by Garland Press.
Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus.
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
