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.
Are skeletal muscles responsible for the pumping action of the heart?
no MyocardiumThere are three types of muscle: skeletal muscles which move the bones, smooth muscle which produces waves (peristalsis) along a tube. For example, the digestive tract and muscle found only in the heart. This is called myo- (muscle) -cardium (heart).
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.

Cardiac muscle - The function is to keep the heart beating. It is found only in the heart. Smooth muscle - Found in the walls of most organs. They carry out the actions that we don't have to think about. (like breathing, or the expansion and contraction of the lungs) Skeletal muscle - This is the most well-know muscle. It is used to move the bones in the body. It is found almost everywhere in the body.
