Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but it can also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves. Furthermore, some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. (Some cells can make the heart beat on its own.) This doesn't occur in any other type of muscle tissue. This ability can keep the heart pumping even under disease conditions.
What else can I help you with?
What tissue is your heart composed of?
Cardiac Muscle tissue =)
What type of tissue is cardiac tissue?
The heart is made mostly of cardiac muscle.
What kind of tissue is the heart made up of?
Cardiac muscle fibers.
What does cardiac tissue do?
Cardiac tissue makes up the muscle of the heart, hope this helped
What is cardiac tissue?
It's a tissue inside you heart!
What types of tissue make up your heart?
The types of tissues that make up your heart are cardiac muscle tissue, nerve tissue and blood tissue. The cardiac muscle tissue contracts, making the heart pump. The nerve tissue brings messages that tell the heart how fast to beat. The blood tissue is carried from the heart to other organs of the body.
Which organ has cardiac tissue?
Heart
What type of muscle is the heart formed from?
The heart is made of smooth and cardiac muscle
What is the muscle tissue found in the heart?
Smooth cardiac muscle.
Cardiac muscle makes up the bulk of what tissue?
The cardiac muscle tissue us referred to as the heart or myocardium.
Are tendons primarily made up of cardiac tissue?
No, only the heart is made up of cardiac tissue.
What kind of muscle tissue is the heart?
