Why cant you make hearts out of leg muscles?
The heart muscles are specialized muscles. The fibers are a structural syncitium, meaning they behave as one. There are gap junctions between them allowing them to propagateaction potentials with ease. These muscles also have automaticity, a property that enable them to generate impulses on their own. In addition, they conduct action potentials very well.Leg muscles and other skeletal muscles lack automaticity and the electrical properties are different. Hence, it is not possible to construct a 'beating' heart with them. However, they (leg muscles) may be instructed to go back in time: to form 'stem cells'. These stem cells may then be groomed to grow into cardiac myocytes, by the proper expression of respective genes.
