The heart muscle uses a fuel mixture of: fatty acid, ketone bodies and glucose
- fatty acids are the preferred fuel of the heart.
- glucose is the least favored fuel.
-ketone bodies and lactate are used under stress (high demand of energy).
-small limited stored phosphocreatin as a reserve energy.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of muscle is the heart made of?
cardiac
What is the muscle tissue found in the heart?
Smooth cardiac muscle.
Muscle tissue that has intercalated disks?
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.

What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
What type of muscle pumps blood?

What Cardiac Muscle makes up what organ?
Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
Which tissue has intercalated discs?
Cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs, which are specialized structures that help with communication and coordination of muscle contractions in the heart.
