Which tissue has intercalated discs?
cardiac muscles/involuntary muscle
Where are intercalated disc found?
Cardiac muscle.
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
The muscle cells which commonly branch are the cardiac muscle cells. The other muscles do not have any branched cells.
Is the cardiac muscle voluntary?
No because the heart is a cardiac muscle and you cant' control the heart
Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of skeletal muscle?
Intercalated discs and striations suggest the presence of cardiac muscle. Only cardiac muscle has intercalated discs. Both skeletal and cardiac muscle have striations.
What kind of tissue makes up contracting organs?
The kind of tissue that makes up contracting organs is muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth and skeletal muscle.
What contracts faster cardiac or skeletal muscle?
Cardiac. Think about it ur heartbeat is constantly contracting and releasing while ur skeletal muscle on ur arms can only go so fast
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
What is the specific function of the cardiac muscle?
contraction of the atria and ventricle of the heart, causes beating of heart.
What is the muscle tissue found in the heart?
Smooth cardiac muscle.
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
What cells make up the myocardium?
Most of the myocardium is composed of cardiac myocytes.
Which tissue has intercalated discs?
cardiac muscles/involuntary muscle
What does the cardiac muscle look like?
It depends on the type of muscle. We have three kinds, smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. The skeletal ones are called striated because they have bands that divide the smallest contracting units called sarcomeres. Skeletal muscles look much like long cords, cardiac are 'Y' or 'H' shaped, and smooth muscle are spindle shaped.
Is the Cardiac muscle appears striated and is completely voluntary?
cardiac muscle is striated cardiac muscle is not voluntary
Where are intercalated disc found?
Cardiac muscle.
