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.
