Eukaryotic, because they are larger and the heart is an organ.

Is a heart cell prokaryotic or eukaryotic and why?

A heart cell is eukaryotic because it contains a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells, such as those found in humans and other multicellular organisms, are more complex than prokaryotic cells, which lack these features. Heart cells, specifically cardiomyocytes, are specialized for contraction and function within the complex structure of heart tissue.


How are cells in heart tissue different from cells in bone tissue?

The cells in heart tissue, such as cardiomyocytes, are specialized for pumping blood and maintaining the heart's rhythmic contractions. In contrast, cells in bone tissue, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, are involved in bone formation, remodeling, and mineralization. Heart tissue cells are primarily involved in contraction and conduction, while bone tissue cells are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and strength of bones.


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.


How Can stem cells repair a damaged heart?

Stem cells can repair a damaged heart by turning into new cardiac cells to replace the damaged tissue.


What layer of the heart is formed by a single sheet of squamous epithelial cells covering connective tissue?

The pericardium is the layer of the heart formed by a single sheet of squamous epithelial cells covering connective tissue. It acts as a protective membrane around the heart and prevents friction as the heart beats.

What type of cells are found in the heart?

"I am not sure of names but i know that many cells make up the heart! Try to look on the Internet for your answer. Hope this helped a bit :)" You got to be kidding me... that wasn't helpful at all, but whatever. In the heart you can find: - Myocardiocytes - those are the cells performing the rhytmic contraction of the whole heart. - Endothelial cells - those are the supporting epithelial cells, insulating the chambers of the heart and the veins.


What is the difference between eukaryotic and Prokaryotic?

A prokaryotic cell is a primitive cell consisting of a cell membrane, flagella, and a small number of other organelles. (Humans have organs such as the heart and liver which are necessary, just like cells have organelles necessary to function) A eukaryotic cell is about fifteen times the size of a prokaryote and contains a vast number of organelles whereas the prokaryote only caries a handful. The most distinguishing difference between these two types of cells is that the eukaryote has a cell nucleus and a prokaryote does not.

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!


The organs are specialized and are made of tissue formed by groups of specialized cells What kind of specialized cells make up the tissue of the heart?

There are three types of tissue that make up the heart which are collectively known as cardiac tissue. These three tissues are myocardium, endocardiu, and pericardium.

Can New cardiac muscle cells replace cardiac muscle cells?

Cardiac myocytes (heart muscle cells) do not regenerate. They can get bigger (hypertrophy), but new cells are not made under normal circumstances. This means that when you have a heart attack or another injury to the heart and cardiac cells die, they are replaced by fibrous scar tissue which does not contract like normal heart tissue does.


Is the heart a tissue or an organ?

YesThe heart is a muscle tissue - cardiac to be preciseAny living piece of an organism is a tissueTissue is a cellular organizational level intermediate between cells and a complete organism. A tissue is an ensemble of similar cells and from the same origin, that together carry out a specific function.There are four main types of tissue:connectivemusclenervousepithelialThere are three types of muscle:smoothskeletalcardiac
