The Heart muscle cell allows the heart to pump blood in and out through arteries and ventricles, in short it is the responsible one in pumping our heart. It also contracts the same process that our skeletal muscles cell also do.

∙ 12y agoHeart cells are called cardiomyocytes. As the name indicating, these are a type of muscle cells that contract. By these contractile action of cardiomyocytes, the heart can pump out the oxygenated blood to entire body. The reason why heart failure occurs is that cardiomyocytes do not have a good regenerative property unlike most of the cells in the body such as skin cells. So once cardiomyocytes die mostly due to atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries, cardiomyocytes are replaced by other cell types which do not have contractile properties. Then other surviving cardiomyocytes need to work harder and when they cannot meet the need anymore, it fails.

Are red blood cells produced in the heart?
No, red blood cells are not produced in the heart.
What is the decay rate of heart cells?
the decay rate of carbon is 14 in heart muscle cells,
How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?
The bone tissue gets you to stop bleeding if you got heart the heart tissue keeps your heart from getting hurt
Why can liver cells create enzyme and heart cells cannot?
because the liver cell uses different genes than the heart cells use
How Can stem cells repair a damaged heart?
Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.
What cell is important to cells in the heart?
The most important cells are the cardiac muscles cells that do the pumping.
Why is the heart important to human health?
Simply saying heart is a pumping organ , which pumps blood into the whole part of the body. The oxygen from lungs dissolve in it and the cells get oxygen through this circulation of blood. Food get digested and cells get food through the blood. thus the cells live with the help of heart. Our body is made up of cells and the cells live with the help of heart means the whole body live with the help of heart
What cells are in the heart?
Sperm Cells. Haha Then Your Heart Has A Baby Heart . And Then You Have A Heart Family Inside Of You! .
Do heart cells have mitochondria?
Yes heart cells have.They are very active cells,they have lot of them

What is a heart cell?
Most cells in the heart are cardiac muscle cells.
What kinds of specialized cells make up the heart?
heart cells
Are red blood cells produced in the heart?
No, red blood cells are not produced in the heart.
How does a liver cell differ from a heart cell?
brain cells are activated by brain genes and heart cells are activated by heart genes. that's how they function, by their genes
How does a heart cell knows it's a heart cell?
Cells produce an enormous amount of molecules of which some (many) act as messengers and activators or inhibitors. When heart cells receive stimulation from other heart cells with certain molecules, they "know" what they are and that they should keep on being heart cells.
What do red blood cells carry?
Red blood cells carry oxygen around the body in the hemoglobin. It is important for this to happen otherwise if the blood stopped moving it would mean the heart would stop, too. The heart pumps the blood around.
How do you Compare your brain cell from heart cell?
cardiac cells are specialized muscle cells brain cells are nerve cells
