What muscle is the only one of its kind in the human body?
There are three types of muscles in the body, smooth, skeletal and cardiac. The only place you'll find cardiac muscle is in the heart.
What type of muscle tissue would you find in the heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue and connective tissue would be found in the heart.
What muscle tissue is the tissue of the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.
Where would you find your calf muscle?
In you body
Where on the body would you find the pectoral muscle?
in the heart
Where can you find cardiac tissue in an organ?
I dont really understand where you are getting at... Well first of all by organ do you mean body system? Sorry if i was thinking wrong.. Well if it is body system then you can find in the muscle and skeleton system. Cya! :p
Where is the only place you can find cardiac muscles?
Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. This is a specialized muscle that, while similar in some fundamental ways to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, has a unique structure and with an ability not possessed by muscle tissue elsewhere in the body. Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but it can also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves.Furthermore, some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity (meaning the can and do beat on their own).
Why you have different types of muscle?
You have different needs in your body that various muscles take care of. Your bones are there to support your body and hold it up but they need to move in order for you to walk, dance, run, etc. so you have skeletal muscles for that. You have a heart that needs to beat so you have cardiac muscle that caters to that. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle because if you have to consciously think to beat your heart, well we would all die! But skeletal muscle is a kind of voluntary muscle as you decide to walk, you don't just randomly find yourself walking without your brain giving the mental command.
What are the importance of the muscular system in the human body?
Without the muscular system- cardiac muscles, smooth muscles and skeletal muscles- we would be unable to move! And as the hear is a muscle (cardiac muscle) no blood would pump around out body. We also need the muscular system to absorb heat and shock, to breathe and to digest food. Also, the muscular system enables our organs to function. Without the muscular system, we would be a bag of bones, about as useful as the skeletons you find sitting at the back of a science classroom!
In what organs do you find cardiac muscle?
The heart.The term cardiac (as in cardiology) means "related to the heart" and comes from the Greek καρδιά, kardia, for "heart."
Which tissue type in the body contains the most mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the power-houses of every cell in your body (and all animals!). Inside these organelles the magic of respiration occurs through a process known as the "Krebs" cycle. Cells that use a lot of energy have the most mitochondria, most notably those that make up muscle, and any cell that divides frequently (such as basal cells in your skin). The body never puts the power-plant too far away from where it's needed, except in the case of nerve cells- These little guys use a TON of energy, but rely on other support cells to produce it! And you would find the most mitochondria in the muscle
What type of cells are found in the heart?
"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.
