Which type of muscle tissue is autorhythmic?

cardiac muscle


Are autorhythmic cells located only in the interventricular septume?

Not exclusively:Cardiac Muscle cells are either contractile cells or autorhythmic cells. The majority are contractile.Examples of autorhythmic cells:Sinoatrial (SA), or Sinus, NodeAtrioventricular (AV) NodeAtrioventricular (AV) Bundle (occasionally referred to as the bundle of His)Right and Left Bundle BranchesPurkinje Fibers


How do the waves of depolarization generated by the autorhythmic cells spread to the muscle cells?

Autorhythmic cells in the heart generate electrical impulses that spread through the atria and ventricles via specialized conduction pathways, such as the atrioventricular node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers. These pathways allow for coordinated depolarization of the muscle cells, ultimately leading to contraction of the heart chambers.


What type of muscle would be considered autorhythmic?

Cardiac muscle is considered autorhythmic, meaning it has the ability to generate its own electrical impulses without the need for external stimulation. This property allows the heart to beat independently of nerve input.


What would a nonfunctional sinoatrial node do?

It would cause the heart to stop beating in a autorhythmic fashion.


What does auto-rhythmic mean?

Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
