What cells make up the myocardium?
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.
How are the heart impulses detected?
The Pacemaker cells of the Sinoatrial Node spontaneously initiates the impulse. Without stimulation from nerve fibers or any other outside agents, the nodal cells initiate impulses that spread into the surrounding myocardium and stimulate cardiac muscle fibers to contract.
Where is myocardial tissue?
You have three layers in the heart. Outer layer is pericardium, middle layer is myocardium and inner layer is endocardium. Myocardium is composed mainly of cardiac muscles, connective tissue and blood vessels.
What is The heart muscle is also called?
The heart muscle is also referred to as the cardiac muscle (myocardium).
Carries impulses away from the cell body?
An Axon
What is the name of the fibers that carry cardiac impulses from the interventricular septum into the myocardium?
Purkinje fibers
Layer of the heart wall containing cardiac muscle?
myocardium
Equals cardiac muscle?
Myocardium
What equals cardiac muscle?
myocardium
What is made of cardiac muscle?
myocardium
How do you describe the cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is involuntary striated muscle. The cells of cardiac muscle have only one nucleus. The layer of the heart that contains cardiac muscle is called the myocardium.
What is the muscular portion of the cardiac wall?
The muscular portion of the cardiac wall is called the myocardium. It is responsible for contracting and pumping blood throughout the body. The myocardium is made up of cardiac muscle cells that are interconnected to allow for coordinated contraction of the heart.
The movement of electrochemical impulses in the myocardium?
myogenic conduction
The movement of electrochemical impulses in the myocardium is called?
Myogenic Conduction
What cells make up the myocardium?
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.
The tissue that comprises the bulk of the myocardium?
Cardiac muscle.
Which layer of the heart is made of cardiac muscle?
