"I am not sure of names but i know that many cells make up the heart! Try to look on the Internet for your answer. Hope this helped a bit :)" You got to be kidding me... that wasn't helpful at all, but whatever. In the heart you can find: - Myocardiocytes - those are the cells performing the rhytmic contraction of the whole heart. - Endothelial cells - those are the supporting epithelial cells, insulating the chambers of the heart and the veins.
