What else can I help you with?
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
What kind of tissue is the heart made up of?
Cardiac muscle fibers.
What are the Fibers of the conduction system of the heart?
Fibers of the conduction system of the heart is called Purkinje fibers
Can the heart contain smooth muscle?
No, they are not. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.This is a specialized muscle that, while similar in some fundamental ways to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, has a unique structure and with an ability not possessed by muscle tissue elsewhere in the body. Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. Meaning that some of the cells can beat on their own without any nerve stimulation.
What tissue forms a loose fitting sack around the heart?
The tissue forming a loosely fitting "sack" around the heart is known as the pericardium. The musculature of the heart itself, consisting of "cardiac" muscle fibers, is, in general, referred to as the myocardium.
Which type of muscle tissue contain branched fibers?
Cardiac (Heart) muscles contain short, branching, interlinked fibres.
What is muscle fibers?
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)

What is cardiocyte?
Cardiocytes are muscle fibers of the heart.
Does cardiac muscle and heart have the same relationship?
The heart is composed of cardiac muscle fibers. It is the same thing.
What type of cells does the heart have?
The heart contains cardiac muscle cells. The cells are striated (the muscle fibers contain alternating light and dark bands). They differ from skeletal muscle in that it is an involuntary contraction, but they are similar in that they both have striations.
Cardiac muscle fibers electrically connect to neighboring fibers by?
intercalated discs, which contain gap junctions that allow for the rapid transmission of electrical impulses between cells. This ensures synchronized contraction of the heart muscle.
What kind of tissue does the heart have in it?
The heart is comprised of specialized cardiac muscle fibers.
What is a layer of the heart largely composed of cardiac muscle tissue?
This word can be broken down into two parts that will reveal the answer to your question. Myo is the medical term for muscle and cardio is the medical term for heart. Therefore, your answer would be the muscle that is the heart.
What muscle fibers make up the heart?
The heart is made up of cardiac muscles.
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
Do all cardiac muscle fibers all contract at the same time?
No. The heart muscle contracts in sections, first the top (atrium) then the bottom (ventricle). But when it is working properly, the heart muscle fibers contract together in large groups.
