What else can I help you with?
What tissue makes up heart valves?
Heart valves are made up of Connective tissue
What makes up the bulk of the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle makes up the bulk of the heart. That tissue is made of cardiomyocytes or muscle cells.
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 kind of muscle is responsible for the heart pumping action?
The heart itself is a muscle, however the heart all is made up of different muscles. The muscle knows as the MYOCARDIUM makes up the largest portion of the Heart Wall. The myocardium is made up of the cardiac muscle tissue, which is responsible for the pumping action.
What non-communicable diseases attack the heart?
Your use of the word "attack" along with the word "non-communicable" makes me wonder whether you really mean what you seem to mean. Micro-organisms attack the body, but they're communicable. Perhaps you meant to say "affect the heart"...? There are many non-infectious cardiac diseases. These include congenital anomolies such as Tetralogy of Fallot, coronary artery disease, left and right ventricular dysfunction (also known as heart failure), arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, connective tissue diseases such as amyloidosis, and many others. Also, there are diseases which are non-cardiac but which affect the heart's function. These include pulmonary hypertension, vasculitis, anxiety, drug abuse, and many others.
What is the general name for the flap of connective tissue that makes up a heart valve?
The general name for the flap of connective tissue that makes up a heart valve is a "leaflet" or a "cusp." These leaflets help control the flow of blood through the heart by opening and closing the valve.
What tissue makes up heart valves?
Heart valves are made up of Connective tissue
What kind of tissue makes up the epicardium. Why?
The epicardium is made up of connective tissue that contains blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. It serves to protect the heart and provide support for the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. Additionally, the epicardium is involved in reducing friction between the heart and surrounding structures during heart contractions.
What type of connective tissue prevents muscles from pulling away from the bones during contraction?
Dense connective tissue - it makes up the tendons.
What connective tissue makes up the skeleton?
Ligaments are connective tissues that connect bones to bones.
What type of tissue makes up a ligament?
Dense connective tissue
What tissue makes up the chordae tendinae?
The chordae tendinae are composed of dense connective tissue called collagen. This collagen tissue provides strength and stability to the chordae tendinae, which are fibrous cords that connect the valves of the heart to the papillary muscles in the ventricles.
What flexible connective tissue that makes up our nose and ears?
Cartilage is the tissue that makes the tip of your nose flexible
What tissue makes up bones tendons and ligaments?
dense fibrous connective tissue
What type of connective tissue makes supporting framework of lymphoid organs?
The connective tissue that makes the supporting framework of lymphoid organs is called reticular tissue. It provides structural support by forming a network of reticular fibers and cells that help to organize and support the immune cells in lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes and the spleen.
What embryonic tissue makes all connective tissue?
Undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue
Which connective tissue makes up the intervertebral discs?
Fibrocartilage
