What else can I help you with?
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
How cardiac muscle fibers differ from the fibrs of skeletal muscle?
Both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells are striated and contract by the sliding filament mechanism. However, cardiac muscles cells are short, fat, branched, and interconnected unlike the long, cylindrical, multinucleate of skeletal muscle fibers.
Is the cardiac muscle branched?
No. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscle are two different types of muscle tissue. Smooth muscle does not have striations (or stripes) and is located in the organs. Cardiac muscle is striated (has stripes) and fits together with gap junctions that allow for quick passage.
Is cardiac muscle a striated muscle?
Cardiac muscle is striated because the only cardiac muscle in your body is your heart and your heart never stops working unless you die.
What is a mass of interconnected cardiac muscle cells that act together as a group?
This is known as a cardiac syncytium, where adjacent cardiac muscle cells are interconnected by gap junctions, allowing them to function as a coordinated unit. This enables the heart to contract efficiently and effectively pump blood throughout the body.
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
the cell tissue is not in fact muscle tissue its penis tissue
Which type of muscle tissue contain branched fibers?
Cardiac (Heart) muscles contain short, branching, interlinked fibres.
What are the key differences in the structure and function between smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
Smooth muscle is found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, while cardiac muscle is found in the heart. Smooth muscle is involuntary and under autonomic control, while cardiac muscle is also involuntary but has its own specialized conduction system. Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and have a single nucleus, while cardiac muscle cells are branched and have one or two nuclei. Smooth muscle contracts slowly and rhythmically, while cardiac muscle contracts quickly and continuously.
Whats the anatomical difference between smooth cardiac and skeletal muscles?
cardiac and skeletal muscles have one thing in common, that is they are both striated in contrast to the smooth muscles commonly found in the GIT. however the main difference between them is that cardiac muscles function involuntarily while skeletal muscles are under conscious control. --thoughtfulobserver
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.
