What is The type of muscle tissue forming the heart muscle?

Cardiac which is involuntary and striated muscle tissueInvoluntaryThe heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue. This type of tissue contracts rhythmically without external stimulus. Each cell will have it's own pulse until it comes into contact with another cardiac muscle cell, then they will synchronize their movements with each other. Over all the heart automatically responds to your bodies need for increased oxygen by speeding up, then slowing back down as the need is satisfied.Cardiac muscle.Cardiac muscle tissue.cardiac muscle.The muscle in the heart is cardiac muscle.

That means that a person can not make it work by thinking about it. There are two other types. One is smooth muscle, which has no visible striations and it also involuntary. This is found in arteries and the walls of the digestive, urinary, other hollow organs and respiratory tracts and the irises of the eye. The last type is voluntary muscles such as found int muscles that move your bones. The heart is a MUSCLE.
