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. Over all the heart automatically responds to your bodies need for increased oxygen by speeding up, then slowing back down as the need is satisfied.Cardiac muscle.Cardiac muscle tissue.cardiac muscle.The muscle in the heart is cardiac muscle.

They are known as cardiac muslces. The heart is an organ as well as a muscle.cardiac muscleThe heart is made of cardiac muscle. It is involuntary muscle. 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.


Skeletal muscle and smooth muscle?

There are three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.Skeletal muscle tissue is a voluntary type of muscle tissue that is used in the contraction of skeletal parts. It is striated (alternating with light and dark bands, called striations) and is attached to bones. A single skeletal muscle fiber is very long and has many nuclei, located at the periphery of the cell. Individual muscle fibers are parallel to each other.Smooth muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow internal organs and blood vessels. It is involuntary, nonstriated, and it's muscle fibers are small, thickest in the middle, and tapered at each end, containing single, centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle tissue helps to narrow the lumen of blood vessels, physically break down and move food along the GIT as well as move fluids through the body and eliminate wastes.Cardiac muscle tissue is found only in the walls of the heart and it is striated but also involuntary. It's muscle fibers are branched, and usually have only one centrally located nucleus. cardiac muscle tissue has intercalated discs that transverse thickening of the plasma membrane attached to the muscle fibers from end-to-end. It contains cell junctions that strengthen cardiac muscle and holds the fibers together during its vigorous contractions and cell junctions known as gap junctions that also provide a quick route for conduction of electrical impulses.


Can a muscle be involuntary and voluntary?

a muscle can be both involuntary or voluntary.the muscles which are under our control are said to known as voluntary muscle.e.g. biceps,triceps.the muscle which are not in our control are called involuntary muscles.e.g.muscle in our internal organs


What do you call the muscle coat of the heart wall?

Cardiac muscle is the muscle of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary and straited.This muscle is also known as myocardium.


Is cardiac muscle smooth or straited?

The tissue which makes up cardiac muscle has striations present. The heart, which is made up of special cardiac muscle is composed of lots of branching cells that join into a continuous mass by intercalated discs. Cardiac muscle is also known as striated involuntary muscle. This cardiac muscle tissue forms the bulk of the heart walls of each chamber. The striations in cardiac muscle are irregular, but they are present. Striated muscle is also found in skeltal muscle tissue, skeletal muscle tissue unlike cardiac muscle tissue has a regular striated structure which you can easily see through histolgy.


Is smooth tissue a muscle tissue?

Smooth tissue refers to a type of tissue that lacks striation and is typically found in organs like blood vessels and the digestive tract. Muscle tissue encompasses three types: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle. Smooth tissue is a specific type of muscle tissue known as smooth muscle tissue.


What muscle tissue is the tissue of the heart?

Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The other two types of muscle are smooth and striated (skeletal) muscle.Cardiac muscle, the third kind of muscle (the other two being skeletal and smooth muscle.


Muscle tissue that shows no striations?

Smooth muscle tissue, also known as non-striated muscle, is found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines and blood vessels. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle lacks the characteristic striped pattern (striations) due to its different structure and organization of contractile proteins. Smooth muscle is involuntary and contracts slowly and rhythmically to perform functions like moving substances through the body.


Does smooth muscle move blood through the heart?

No. A form of involuntary muscle known as cardiac muscle pumps the blood through the heart.


The heart muscle is composed of a specialized type of muscle tissue called?

the cardiac muscle also known as myocardium is a muscular tissue of the heart


What type of tissue is the major function of the cells of this tissue type is to shorten?

Muscle tissue is the type of tissue whose major function is to shorten. Muscle cells, also known as muscle fibers, have special proteins that allow them to contract and generate force, leading to movement in the body.
