The human heart is a four cambered pump whose sole task is to pump blood round the body. It is involuntary as we don't have conscious control over it - it works automatically and tirelessly (we hope)! It has cardiac muscle.

What types of muscle tissue are found in humans?
In the bones of the body
What is the heart muscle cells special feature?
The muscle has unique features that are only in the heart.These muscles are involuntary striated muscle which are only found in the wall of the heart. This is specialised muscle that can contract, 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.Read more: Why_is_the_cardiac_muscle_unusual
What do heart muscle cells look like?
The cells of heart muscle are striated (like stripes on a tie) as is skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. They can contract but also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves. Some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. That is they beat on their own and in union with each other.
What are the specialized cells in the muscular system?
There are three types of muscle cells in the body. The skeletal muscles cells are the only voluntary muscle cells, which are attached to a person's bones. Smooth muscle cells are involuntary and are found within the walls of blood vessels, as well as various tracts in the body. Cardiac muscle cells are involuntary and found in the heart's structure.
What are the three main types of muscle tissue?
The three types are: 1. skeletal muscle which move the bones of the skeletal system. These are also voluntary which means that you must use your mind to move them. 2. Smooth muscle which is found forming hollow organs of the body. The GI tract, the respiratory tract, the reproductive and urinary tracts. These are involuntary. 3. cardiac muscle which makes the heart contract. This type is only found in the heart. The cells beat on their own and also beat in rhythm with each other.
What type of muscle is found only in the walls of the heart?
Cardiac muscle forms the muscular wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle.
What muscle cell type is striated and involuntary?
Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntrary. Smooth muscle, as is found around the blood vessels and in many organs, is not striated and involuntary. The heart (cardiac muscle) is the only place you have striated involuntary muscle.
What muscle types are involuntarily controlled?
Skeletal muscle
Is the cardiac muscle a voluntary or involuntary?
They are involuntary. You don't have to remind yourself to make your heart beat, so it is involuntary.These are involuntary in nature.
Involuntary muscle tissue found in the heart?

Which involuntary muscle is found only in heart?
The human heart is a four cambered pump whose sole task is to pump blood round the body. It is involuntary as we don't have conscious control over it - it works automatically and tirelessly (we hope)! It has cardiac muscle.
Can you please name two muscle tissues?
There is the straight muscles, or voluntary muscles (arms, legs, etc...), and then there is the smooth muscle, or involuntary muscles (stomach, intestines, etc...). Finally, there is the cardiac muscle, which is also an involuntary muscle. It is only in the heart of the wall, and is the only muscle that works every single moment of your life.
Where is smooth muscle located?
It is not found in human bodies and is only found in monkeys in the dense forest in Pakistan and only 3 of these monkeys are left and were found in Osama Bin Ladens Cave
Is the smooth muscle voluntary or involuntary?
Smooth muscles are involuntary, as are cardiac muscles. Only skeletal muscles are voluntary.
What is The type of muscle tissue forming the heart muscle?
Cardiac which is involuntary and striated muscle tissueInvoluntaryThe heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue. This type of tissue contracts rhythmically without external stimulus. Each cell will have it's own pulse until it comes into contact with another cardiac muscle cell, then they will synchronize their movements with each other. Over all the heart automatically responds to your bodies need for increased oxygen by speeding up, then slowing back down as the need is satisfied.Cardiac muscle.Cardiac muscle tissue.cardiac muscle.The muscle in the heart is cardiac muscle.

They are known as cardiac muslces. The heart is an organ as well as a muscle.cardiac muscleThe heart is made of cardiac muscle. It is involuntary muscle. That means that a person can not make it work by thinking about it. There are two other types. One is smooth muscle, which has no visible striations and it also involuntary. This is found in arteries and the walls of the digestive, urinary, other hollow organs and respiratory tracts and the irises of the eye. The last type is voluntary muscles such as found int muscles that move your bones. The heart is a MUSCLE.
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
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.
What is difference between a voluntary muscle and an involuntary muscle?
Involuntary muscles are not under you conscious control they are responsible for essential activities such as breathing and digesting food. Voluntary muscles are under your conscious control smiling, turning a page in a book are controlled by voluntary muscles.
