Where are myocytes found?
Myocytes are muscle cells and can be found in various types of muscle tissue throughout the body. They are present in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle myocytes are attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movements, while cardiac muscle myocytes are found in the heart and control involuntary contractions. Smooth muscle myocytes are located in the walls of hollow internal structures like blood vessels and the gastrointestinal tract.
What are the key differences between myoblasts and myocytes in terms of their structure and function?
Myoblasts are immature muscle cells that can divide and differentiate into myocytes, which are mature muscle cells. Myoblasts have a single nucleus and are responsible for muscle growth and repair, while myocytes are multinucleated and are responsible for muscle contraction. Myoblasts also have a higher capacity for cell division compared to myocytes.
What are individual muscle cells termed?
Another name is myocyte. It is formed from a myoblast. There are three types: smooth, striated and cardiac cells.
Which two muscle types are controlled involuntarily?
Smooth muscles and cardiac muscles are controlled involuntarily - they are not under conscious control. Smooth muscles control functions such as digestion and blood vessel constriction, while cardiac muscles control the beating of the heart.
What two types of body cells stop undergoing mitosis after birth?
Nerve cells (neurons) and muscle cells (myocytes) stop undergoing mitosis after birth. Once fully developed, these cells mostly remain in a post-mitotic state, meaning they do not divide further.
What is the sa node made of?
cardiac myocytes....

What is a heart made up of?
Cardiac myocytes and connective tissue
How does the structure of cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart?
The structure of the heart is very complex. Cardiac myocytes and intercalated discs follow the function of cardiac muscle tissue and the heart make up part of this very complex system
What condition is characterized by rapid uncoordinated contractions of cardiac myocytes?
Contraction Band Necrosis
Why does the heart has somethimg to do with the muscles?
Because it`s made of muscle. Cardiac muscle. Involuntary striated myocytes.
Which two types are involuntary?
Skeletal and cardiac
What are two types of muscle fiber?
cardiac and smooth
What are the two kinds of involuntary muscles?
Which two types of muscles are involuntary?
How is heart muscle different from striated muscle?
Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes (or cardiomyocytes). Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitation-coupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells.Source: http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_muscle
What are the two types of shock that diabetics go into?
septic and cardiac
Types of muscle are involuntary?
Of the three types of muscle, the two that are involuntary are cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
