The myocardial cells are connected through tight junctions and gap junctions between the cell membranes of adjacent cells. The myocardium as a whole is covered by the pericardium on the outside and the endocardium on the inside.
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
Cardiac impulses are carried to the myocardium via specialized muscle cells called Purkinje fibers. These fibers are part of the cardiac conduction system and help to transmit electrical signals rapidly and efficiently throughout the heart muscle.
The myocardium is composed of cardiomyocytes, which are specialized muscle cells that form the heart muscle tissue. These cells are responsible for contraction of the heart and pumping blood throughout the body.
Muscle fibers are the individual, elongated cells that make up muscle tissue; they are responsible for the contraction and movement of muscles. Muscle tissue, on the other hand, is a collection of these muscle fibers grouped together, functioning as a whole to perform specific actions. There are three types of muscle tissue in the body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth, each with distinct functions and characteristics. In summary, muscle fibers are the building blocks, while muscle tissue is the collective structure formed by these fibers.
Cardiac muscle fibers are arranged in a crisscross pattern, allowing for efficient contraction and relaxation of the heart. This arrangement helps coordinate the pumping action of the heart and ensures effective blood flow throughout the body.
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)

No. Cardiac muscle fibers.
no
Muscle ( cardiac Muscle)
Cardiac muscle cells are linked together by intercalating discs that help to conduct the electrical impulse that makes them all beat together.
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
