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. (Some cells can make the heart beat on its own.) This doesn't occur in any other type of muscle tissue. This ability can keep the heart pumping even under disease conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Are tendons primarily made up of cardiac tissue?
No, only the heart is made up of cardiac tissue.
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 tissue moves the heart?
If you mean what kind of muscle tissues it is a special tissue found only in the heart called cardiac muscle tissue. It sometimes referred to by professionals as myocardium.
What muscle is only found in the walls of the heart?
cardiac muscle tissue
Why couldn't your heart have only cardiac tissue?
The heart needs a combination of cardiac muscle tissue for contraction, nervous tissue to help regulate the heartbeat, and connective tissue to provide structural support. Having only cardiac tissue would limit the heart's ability to function properly and regulate its rhythm efficiently. The different types of tissues work together to ensure effective pumping of blood throughout the body.
Does your heart have anything to do with the muscular system?
Yes, the heart itself is mostly made of muscle, the cardiac muscle, plus connective tissue. Cardiac Muscle is only found in the heart.

What is made out of cardiac muscle in the circulatory system?
The heart is the only thing in the body that is made up of the specialized tissue in cardiac muscle
What are the muscles only found in your heart?
The only muscle found in the heart is cardiac muscle.
Involuntary muscle tissue found in the heart?
Involunary Musicle is only found in the heartreal answer...the cardiac tissue is found in your heart. it is involuntary and is striated.THe same in pigs but not goatsALL OF UR BASE R BELONG TO US
Why does the heart has different types of tissues?
The heart does consist or atria, ventricles, etc. but these are the gross, anatomical divisions of the heart. In asking about the kinds of tissues contained in the heart, we have to think of the cells found there. The heart obviously contains cardiac muscle, it is practically the only site where it is found, except for the transitions between the heart and the large vessels arising from it. Cardiac muscle consist of the typical cardiac muscle cells, which are di-nucleated, branched cells which connect to each other at intercalated disks, making the heart muscle a functional syncitium. In addition, the heart contains modified cardiac muscle cells called Purkinje cells. These cells transmit electrical impulses to the ventricles, to stimulate them to contract. The heart also contains connective tissue, serving various purposes, such as binding groups of cardiac muscle cells into fascicles, etc.
What muscles are in the haert?
The heart is primarily made up of cardiac muscle tissue, which is a unique type of muscle that is only found in the heart. This muscle tissue is responsible for the rhythmic contractions of the heart that pump blood throughout the body.
