Cardiac muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, lack certain organelles typically found in other cell types. Notably, they have fewer mitochondria compared to skeletal muscle cells, but they do contain many due to their high energy demands. However, they generally do not have a well-developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum or large amounts of glycogen granules, which are more prevalent in other types of muscle cells. Additionally, cardiac muscle cells lack satellite cells, which are involved in muscle repair and regeneration in skeletal muscle.
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 is the significance of the large number of mitochondria in cardiac muscle cell?
The large number of mitochondria in cardiac muscle cells is significant because these organelles produce ATP through aerobic respiration, which is essential for providing the energy needed for the continuous and rhythmic contractions of the heart. This high energy demand is met by the abundant mitochondria in cardiac muscle cells, ensuring proper functioning of the heart muscle.
Is the Cardiac muscle appears striated and is completely voluntary?
cardiac muscle is striated cardiac muscle is not voluntary
What type of muscle is found only in the walls of the heart?
Cardiac muscle forms the muscular wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle.
Which type of muscle tissue is autorhythmic?
cardiac muscle
What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?
cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.
What type of muscle pumps blood?
all your muscles from your heartORCardiac muscle
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 =)
