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.

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.

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.


Why is cardiac muscle called cardiac muscle?

Is cardiac muscle striated or smooth?

Skeletal muscles are designed to give maximum strength - the drawback to this is that they can only operate for a short while. Try holding your arm out straight level for an hour. Cardiac muscles are designed to work continuously (short bursts but forever) - the drawback to this is that their maximum effort is only mediocre. Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones,smooth muscles work in your organs,and cardiac muscles work in your heart.


Which muscle cells commonly branch?

the cell tissue is not in fact muscle tissue its penis tissue


Why is it important for cardiac muscle cells to be branched and interconnected with other cardiac muscle cells?

so electrical impulses can be carried freely between cells

Is a heart a cardiac muscle?

Unlike other types of muscle, cardiac muscle never gets tired. It works automatically and constantly without ever pausing to rest. Cardiac muscle contracts to squeeze blood out of your heart, and relaxes to fill your heart with blood. Unlike skeletal muscle tissue, its contraction is usually not under conscious control
