What else can I help you with?
How are the cells in the biceps alike to the cells of the heart?
They are both made up of muscle cells. The heart is made of cardiac muscle, and the biceps are made of skeletal muscle.
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 can happen when blood supply to the heart is blocked-?
When blood supply to the heart is blocked what happens is a myocardial infarction which can result in death.
What is cardiomyocytes?
Cardiomyocytes are heart muscle cells. Cardio- means heart, myo- means muscle, and cyte- means cell.
What causes heart fibrillation death?
poor muscle or damaged heart muscle that is no longer viable or genetics/or alcohol abuse
What type of muscle is the heart made off?
the heart is made out of a special type of muscle called cardiac muscle
What does heart muscle mean?
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
How are the cells in the biceps alike to the cells of the heart?
They are both made up of muscle cells. The heart is made of cardiac muscle, and the biceps are made of skeletal muscle.
What is a heart cell?
Most cells in the heart are cardiac muscle cells.
What is the condition caused by the death of heart muscle cells?
The condition caused by the death of heart muscle cells is known as myocardial infarction, commonly referred to as a heart attack. This occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot, leading to the death of cardiac tissue due to a lack of oxygen. Symptoms can include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, and immediate medical attention is critical to minimize damage to the heart muscle. Long-term consequences may include heart failure or arrhythmias.
What muscle contains self excitable cells?
The heart muscle contains self-excitable cells known as pacemaker cells. These cells generate electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm by initiating the contraction of the heart muscle.
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 cells make up the myocardium?
The myocardium is composed of cardiomyocytes, which are specialized muscle cells that form the heart muscle tissue. These cells are responsible for contraction of the heart and pumping blood throughout the body.
What are myogenic cells?
Myogenic cells are muscle precursor cells that have the ability to differentiate into muscle cells. They play a crucial role in muscle development, growth, and repair. Myogenic cells are typically found in skeletal muscle tissue.
What cell contains most mitochondria?
Muscle cells, such as those found in the heart or skeletal muscles, contain the most mitochondria as they require a lot of energy to function. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for producing ATP, which is essential for muscle contraction.
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
What does muscles mean?
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
