Do smooth muscles have branched cells?

No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch


What is a group of muscle cells called?

Muscle cells grouped together are called muscle tissue. The muscle cells contract and elongate to make the movement in the body parts.

The main structural difference that cardiac muscle have that other two types dont?

Intercalated discs. These are specialized cell junctions which link the cardiac muscle cells electrically and mechanically together. Impulses are distributed immediately and simultaneously so that cardiac muscle cells contract as a single unit.


Which muscle cells commonly branch?

Which muscle cells can not regenerate?

Cardiac muscle cells cannot regenerate, meaning that they have limited ability to repair and replace damaged muscle tissue. This is because most cardiac muscle cells are terminally differentiated and do not undergo cell division.


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.
