The heart is a muscle, and as such has multiple tissues. The main tissue is cardiac muscle cells. These are striated, branched muscle cells held together with intercalated discs. Connective tissue forms a sac around the heart, and epithelial tissue forms blood vessels within the heart. Therefore, the heart contains all four types of tissue. It is mostly muscle tissue. Connective tissue forms a protective sac and holds the heart together, epithelial tissue forms the blood vessels, and nervous tissue carries impulses to and away from the heart.

How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?

The cells in heart tissue, such as cardiomyocytes, are specialized for pumping blood and maintaining the heart's rhythmic contractions. In contrast, cells in bone tissue, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are involved in bone formation, remodeling, and mineralization. Heart tissue cells are primarily involved in contraction and conduction, while bone tissue cells are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and strength of bones.

What does the connective tissue do for the heart?

What is noncontractile scar tissue?

From what i understand it is scar tissue within the heart that will limit how well your heart can contract to pump out blood. Unlike your heart muscle tissue, the scar tissue will not contract.A heart attack would be the most likely cause for these scars.
