Cardiac muscle cells are similar because they have striations which are strands of actin and myosin filaments. They also have mitochondria, transverse tubules, and sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Cardiac muscle is different from skeletal muscle in that the muscle is branching, with intercalated dicks at the ends of them, store less calcium, the transverse tubules are larger, and their twitches are longer. Also, the entire cardiac muscle contracts as a whole, regulates itself, and is rhythmic.

How is cardiac muscle similar both muscle smooth and skeletal muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.

In what kind of cells would you expect to see the most mitochondria?
In Very active cells like skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells
What is cardiac smooth muscle?
There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
The difference between the structure of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?
One key difference between cardiac and skeletal muscles is that skeletal muscles are controlled by the nervous system, while cardiac muscles move involuntarily. In addition, cardiac muscles are only found in the heart, while skeletal muscles are found throughout the entire body.
How is cardiac muscle similar to smooth muscle?
Cardiac muscle tissue, like skeletal and smooth muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy.Unlike both smooth and skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles have cells that branch.
How many nuclei does cardiac muscle have?
Cardiac muscle cells typically have a single nucleus. However, some cardiac muscle cells can have two or more nuclei due to their ability to fuse with neighboring cells, a process known as syncytium formation.
Specifically what is responsible for the banding pattern in skeletal muscle cells?
Prosomes form sarcomere-like banding patterns in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells.Actin and Myosin proteins
What are 3 examples of muscle cells?
Skeletal muscle cells are responsible for voluntary movement of the body. Cardiac muscle cells make up the heart and are involved in pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle cells are found in walls of internal organs and play a role in involuntary movements like digestion and blood vessel constriction.
How does the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle compare to that of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle all contract in response to signals from the nervous system or hormones. However, the contraction mechanism of smooth muscle is different from that of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Smooth muscle contracts more slowly and can sustain contractions for longer periods of time compared to skeletal and cardiac muscle. Additionally, smooth muscle does not have striations like skeletal and cardiac muscle, which gives it a more uniform appearance.
