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
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.
Why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage?
Briefly describe why cardiac tissue cannot repair itself after damage? Cardiac muscle lacks stem cells and mature cardiac muscle fibers cannot go through mitosis. This is a network of specialized cardiac muscle fibers that provide a path for each cycle of cardiac excitation to progress through the heart.
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 cardiac muscle fibers?

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.
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.
What arrangement of cardiac muscle fibers make the heart efficient?
The cardiac muscle is arranged spirally around the heart to make it more efficient.
