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.

What are Heart Tissue?
The heart is a muscle, and as such has multiple tissues. The main tissue is cardiac muscle cells. These are striated, branched muscle cells held together with intercalated discs. Connective tissue forms a sac around the heart, and epithelial tissue forms blood vessels within the heart. Therefore, the heart contains all four types of tissue. It is mostly muscle tissue. Connective tissue forms a protective sac and holds the heart together, epithelial tissue forms the blood vessels, and nervous tissue carries impulses to and away from the heart. this is all true! ~Trenasian was here!
Can damage to the left ventricle heal?
it depends on what type of damage. when the heart heals, instead of forming normal heart tissue, it forms non-contractile scar tissue. if you are asking if the heart can get stronger after its been damaged, the answer is yes. the heart has many compensatory mechinisms.
Why is apex of heart at the bottom?
Because when the heart first forms in the fetus, it is swapped around. It first forms with apex on top and during maturity of the fetus it swaps around.
How many types of tissue are in a human heart?
3, Fat tissue, Heart Tissue, and Muscle tissue.
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

A group of specialized cells first forms a?
A group of specialized cells first form a tissue. The tissue then works together as one unit to carry out a pirticular function forms the organ. e.g the heart.

What is a rhabdomyosarcomas?
rhabdomyosarcomas is a type of cancer in the heart. it is fatal, and is mainly caused by damaged tissue or muscle in or around the heart
How many types of tissue are in a human heart?
3, Fat tissue, Heart Tissue, and Muscle tissue.
How does the heart disease affect to the heart tissue?
how does the heart disease affect in tissue
Where does blood go in the heart?
The blood forms in a round circle around the heart and then it goes into cells.
How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?
The bone tissue gets you to stop bleeding if you got heart the heart tissue keeps your heart from getting hurt
