What else can I help you with?
What is the thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the?
The thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the myocardium. The layer of the heart wall synonymous with the visceral layer of the serous pericardium is epicardium.
What is the contractile cell?
Contractile cells are the smooth muscle cells of the heart that... contract. They get their signal from the nodes within the heart, which spontaneously fire action potentials (because of leak channels).
Why does the heart has different types of tissues?
The heart does consist or atria, ventricles, etc. but these are the gross, anatomical divisions of the heart. In asking about the kinds of tissues contained in the heart, we have to think of the cells found there. The heart obviously contains cardiac muscle, it is practically the only site where it is found, except for the transitions between the heart and the large vessels arising from it. Cardiac muscle consist of the typical cardiac muscle cells, which are di-nucleated, branched cells which connect to each other at intercalated disks, making the heart muscle a functional syncitium. In addition, the heart contains modified cardiac muscle cells called Purkinje cells. These cells transmit electrical impulses to the ventricles, to stimulate them to contract. The heart also contains connective tissue, serving various purposes, such as binding groups of cardiac muscle cells into fascicles, etc.
Contractile and non-contractile heart muscles?
The non-contractile element are skeletal muscles that don't contract such as Epimysium,Perimysium and, Endomysium. Contractile muscle contract as a whole muscle instead of single bundles of muscle fibers
What type of muscle tissue is only found in the organs?
Most of the organs contain smooth muscle. The exception is the heart, which contains cardiac muscle.
What are Heart Tissue?
The heart is a muscle, and as such has multiple tissues. The main tissue is cardiac muscle cells. These are striated, branched muscle cells held together with intercalated discs. Connective tissue forms a sac around the heart, and epithelial tissue forms blood vessels within the heart. Therefore, the heart contains all four types of tissue. It is mostly muscle tissue. Connective tissue forms a protective sac and holds the heart together, epithelial tissue forms the blood vessels, and nervous tissue carries impulses to and away from the heart. this is all true! ~Trenasian was here!
In the heart what job dos the muscle tissue have?
The heart is made up of muscle tissue (cardiac muscle). The muscle tissue contracts to pump blood.
What is the only tissue found in the heart?
the prosthetic tissue id persent inside of our heart and muscle tissue
Is a tissue a muscle or a heart?
a muscle
Why is the heart made mostly of muscle tissue?
The heart IS a muscle.
What type of muscle tissue would you find in the heart?
Cardiac muscle tissue and connective tissue would be found in the heart.
What type of tissue is the animal heart made of?
Muscle tissue
