The heart muscle is composed of a specialized type of muscle tissue called?
the cardiac muscle also known as myocardium is a muscular tissue of the heart
How do muscle cells form tissues?
A myocyte, which is also known as a muscle cell, is a long, tubular shaped cell that develops from myoblasts to form the muscle. This process known as myogenesis. Groups of muscle cells form muscle tissue.
Fast twitch fibers are also called?
Type 2 muscle fibre.
Is cardiac muscle smooth or straited?
The tissue which makes up cardiac muscle has striations present. The heart, which is made up of special cardiac muscle is composed of lots of branching cells that join into a continuous mass by intercalated discs. Cardiac muscle is also known as striated involuntary muscle. This cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the heart walls of each chamber. The striations in cardiac muscle are irregular, but they are present. Striated muscle is also found in skeltal muscle tissue, skeletal muscle tissue unlike cardiac muscle tissue has a regular striated structure which you can easily see through histolgy.
What is the definition of myoma?

What type of tissue is fat?
Fat is adipose tissue which is a connective tissue.
What is the tissue that makes up organs that are able to contract or shorten?
Muscle tissue makes up organs that are able to contract and shorten.
What kind of tissue contracts?
Muscle tissue specializes in contraction. This includes cardiac, smooth, and striated.
What type of tissue is endocardium?
The endocardiumconsists of epithelium and connective tissue that contains many elastic and collagenousfibers. It also contains blood vessels and some specialized cardiac muscle fibers called purkinjefibers.
What does the muscle tissue do in the heart?
Muscle tissue, also called cardiac muscle, are striated and highly resistant to fatigue, thus enables contraction and relaxation which involved in pumping blood.
What type of tissue holds muscle fibers together?
The connective tissue holds muscle fibers together. The connective tissue also holds other organs together, as well as cushioning them.
