Does cardiac muscle have more mitochondria and depend less on a continual supply of oxygen than does skeletal muscle?

no


What are similarities between skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle?

cardiac is cardiac and skeletal is skeletal.


Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?

Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells


What is the innermost part of the muscle?

There are two types of muscle in the body. The Cardiac Muscle and the Skeletal Muscle. The skeletal muscle is made up of intrafusal and extrafusal fibers. The Muscle Belly is made up entirely of extrafusal fibers (even in the deepest parts). The intrafusal fibers are located throughout the muscle. The cardiac muscle is distinct from skeletal muscle, one of the main differences is the amount of mitochondria it has is increased, and so technically at the deepest part of cardiac muscle is mitochondria (but there are other components as well).


What are the 3 subtypes of muscle tissue?

Striated,smooth,and skelital cardiac, skeletal, and smooth


What are some different types of muscles?

There are three muscle types, skeletal, smooth and cardiac. Skeletal and cardiac are both striated muscle, whereas smooth muscle is not.


How is cardiac muscle similar to stomach smooth muscle?

Cardiac muscle is similar to smooth muscle in that both are involuntary. Cardiac muscle is similar to skeletal muscle because they are both striated.


Why do same cells contain many mitochondria?

Skeletal muscle cells, for instance, contain many mitochondria because the energy consumed in the contraction of the sarcomere is enormous. Skin cells, for instance, contain much less mitochondria as the cellular work the need to do is minimal compared to skeletal muscle cells.


Compare and contrast skeletal cardiac and smooth muscles?

Cardiac muscle uses aerobic respiration which is rich in myoglobulin, glycogen, and very large mitochondria that fills over 25% of the cell. Skeletal muscle only 2% of the cell. In turn makes cardiac muscle highly resistant to fatigue.


Muscle is involuntary and has few mitochondria?

This statement is incorrect. Muscle tissue can be either voluntary (skeletal muscle) or involuntary (smooth and cardiac muscle). Additionally, muscle cells (myocytes) have numerous mitochondria to provide energy for muscle contractions.


Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?

Smooth muscle tissue


What percentage of cardiac muscle is made up of mitochondria?

Cardiac muscle is highly aerobic and contains a large percentage of mitochondria, around 25-35% of the cell volume, to support its high energy demands for continuous contraction. Mitochondria in cardiac muscle produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation to fuel muscle contraction.
