Unlike skeletal muscles, cardiac muscles need extracellular calcium ions in order to perform contractions. The sodium-calcium exchanger is the protein that facilitates this transfer, trading calcium from outside the cardiac cell with sodium inside the cell.
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 heart is made mostly of cardiac muscle.
A light microscope is commonly used to view cardiac muscle tissue. Electron microscopes can also be used for more detailed imaging of the ultrastructure of cardiac muscle cells.
The heart muscle is also referred to as the cardiac muscle (myocardium).
The three different types are the skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. The cardiac muscles are ONLY found in the heart area, the skeletal is the muscle that moves the bones and the smooth muscle is in most of your main organs.
Cardiac muscle tissue forms the walls of the heart.

Smooth cardiac muscle.
cardiac muscle cells are joined by intercalated disks.
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.
cardiac muscle is striated cardiac muscle is not voluntary
Cardiac muscle forms the muscular wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle.

Cardiac muscle is made of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle is under the control of the autonomous nervous system and is not susceptible to fatigue
