The muscle tissue on one side contracts while the other relaxes, controlled by electrical impulses to the heart muscle.

What types of tissue make up your heart?

The types of tissues that make up your heart are cardiac muscle tissue, nerve tissue and blood tissue. The cardiac muscle tissue contracts, making the heart pump. The nerve tissue brings messages that tell the heart how fast to beat. The blood tissue is carried from the heart to other organs of the body.


What type of cells are found in the heart?

"I am not sure of names but i know that many cells make up the heart! Try to look on the Internet for your answer. Hope this helped a bit :)" You got to be kidding me... that wasn't helpful at all, but whatever. In the heart you can find: - Myocardiocytes - those are the cells performing the rhytmic contraction of the whole heart. - Endothelial cells - those are the supporting epithelial cells, insulating the chambers of the heart and the veins.


What is the heart made out of?

There's a hierarchy to this; in the largest form, the heart is made from muscle tissue; muscle tissue is made from cells, and cells are composed of elements.The heart is hollow and shaped like a cone. It is made of specialized muscle tissue which allows it to beat your entire lifetime. It is relatively small and is about the same size as your closed fist. Your teacher's heart weighs about 10 oz, and is about 5 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide at its broadest point.It pumps 30 times it's own weight each minute. Here's a good arithmetic question for you - how much does it actually pump in a minute? If you did your math right - you came up with an answer of 5.3 quarts.How much would it pump in a day (24 hours)? (answer 1800 gal) and how much would it pump in a year? (answer 1.3 million gal) WOW! that sure is a lot of blood! Once that blood leaves the heart it travels about 60,000 miles of blood vessels before it returns back to the heart. If the average heart beats 60 times a minute how many miles does the blood travel in an entire 60 seconds?? Anything that can work that hard with with only a little rest between beats has to be something very strong. It's a muscle.


It helps the heart pump oxygen around the body this tissue can also cause heart cancer Without this tissue our heart wouldn't have enough strength to pump blood around the body?

the heart pumps oxygenated blood round the body so that the muscles get oxygen to help them be used in energetic exercises


What causes CHF?

Heart failure often develops after other conditions have damaged or weakened your heart. Over time, the heart can no longer keep up with the normal demands placed on it to pump blood to the rest of your body.

Is the heart made of smooth muscle?

The heart is a muscle so the heart is made of the cardiac muscle.


What are three of tissue that make up the heart?

The heart is primarily composed of three types of tissue: cardiac muscle tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissue. Cardiac muscle tissue enables the heart to contract and pump blood effectively. Connective tissue provides structural support and helps maintain the heart's shape, while epithelial tissue lines the heart chambers and forms the endocardium, playing a role in regulating blood flow and preventing clot formation.


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.

What type of tissue is in the heart?

Cardiac tissues, smooth muscle, endothelial cells. Cardiac Muscle found in the hearts chambers right and left atrium and riht and left ventricle. This tissue perform the pumping of the heart. Smooth muscle tissues provide stability and flexibility so that the large arteries can contract and expand. Edothelial cells line the chambers and vessels. They stop blood components from moving to the muscle and help prevent clotting.


What characteristic does not describe cardiac muscle tissue?

Cardiac muscle tissue is specifically muscle tissue of the heart. It is smooth just like skeletal muscle tissue but has special characteristics that help it to contract at fast, steady rates.


Function of the crdiaac tissues?

Cardiac tissue is the heart muscle and its function is to pump blood between the heart-lungs cycle and the heart-body cycle.


What is an example of a cardiac muscle?

An example of cardiac muscle is the myocardium, which is the muscle tissue of the heart. It is responsible for the contraction of the heart chambers to pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, meaning it contracts without conscious control.


What muscle makes the heart pump?

The heart is a muscle.
