What characteristic does not describe cardiac muscle tissue?

Cardiac muscle tissue is specifically muscle tissue of the heart. It is smooth just like skeletal muscle tissue but has special characteristics that help it to contract at fast, steady rates.


What kind of tissue contracts?

Muscle tissue is responsible for contraction in the body. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and helps with movement, cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps pump blood, and smooth muscle is found in organs and blood vessels to help with various functions.


What tissue type functions in contraction?

Muscle tissue functions in contraction. There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscles are involved in voluntary movements, smooth muscles are found in organs and blood vessels and help with involuntary movements, and cardiac muscle is found in the heart and helps with pumping blood.


What are the different types of muscle tissue and how do they differ in structure and function?

There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements. It has a striped appearance and is under conscious control. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and is responsible for pumping blood. It has a branching structure and contracts rhythmically. Smooth muscle is found in organs and blood vessels and is responsible for involuntary movements. It has a spindle-shaped structure and contracts slowly and steadily. Each type of muscle tissue differs in structure and function based on their location and role in the body.


Is skeletal muscle considered a type of connective tissue?

No, skeletal muscle is not considered a type of connective tissue. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is responsible for movement in the body, while connective tissue is a different type of tissue that provides support and structure to the body.

Is the cardiac muscle tissue multinucleate?

Yes, as well as skeletal muscle tissue.


Explain the difference between the two types of skeletal muscle tissue?

Skeletal muscle tissue differs from cardiac tissue in that skeletal muscles are striated muscles that require conscious stimulation to act, and cardiac muscles are smooth and basically run "automatically".


What are the three types of muscle tissue and what dod they do?

The three types of muscle tissue are:smooth, cardiac, and skeletal. The smooth muscle tissue moves your internal organs, the cardiac muscle tissue helps your heart beat, and the skeletal muscle tissue helps you move your skeleton.


What is a cardiac muscle tissue?

Cardiac muscle tissue is the specific muscle tissue that makes up the bulk of the heart. It is different than either skeletal or smooth muscle.
