The organelle that is numerous in heart muscle cells is the mitochondrion. Heart muscle cells require a significant amount of energy to sustain continuous contractions, and mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP through aerobic respiration. The high density of mitochondria in these cells allows for efficient energy production to meet the demands of the heart. Additionally, they have a unique structure that supports their role in energy metabolism.
What else can I help you with?
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
Where would you expect to find numerous gap junctions in the muscular tissue?
You would expect to find numerous gap junctions in cardiac muscle tissue and certain types of smooth muscle tissue. In cardiac muscle, gap junctions facilitate the rapid propagation of electrical signals necessary for synchronized heart contractions. In smooth muscle, they enable coordinated contractions across muscle fibers, allowing for effective movement of substances through hollow organs. Gap junctions play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication in these tissues.
What does myocardial cell injury mean?
Myocardial cell injury refers to damage or harm to the cells that make up the heart muscle (myocardium). This can be caused by various factors such as lack of oxygen, toxins, inflammation, or physical trauma. Myocardial cell injury can lead to heart conditions such as heart attacks or heart failure.
Would be more numerous in muscle cell than in skin cells?
Mitochondria are more numerous in muscle cells than in skin cells. Mitochondria give the muscle cells energy. Skin cells do not need as much energy to survive.
What cell organelle is packed with ribosomes?
The endoplasmic reticulum (specifically the rough endoplasmic reticulum) is the cell organelle that is packed with ribosomes. Ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are involved in protein synthesis.
Is mitichondria an organelle in the cytoplasm of muscle?
It is the "powerhouse of the cell."
Where in a heart cell is calcium normally found?
Calcium is normally found in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of a heart cell. It is stored in this organelle and plays a critical role in regulating muscle contraction in the heart by being released into the cytoplasm when the cell is stimulated.
What organelle would a muscle cell require several of?
mitochondria.
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
Which is of this has a prokaryotic cell is it a chloroplast fungus bacterium and muscle cell?
Bacteria are prokariyotic.Chloroplast is an organelle
What is the size of a muscle cell in a animal cell?
Muscle cells are actually a type of animal cell and thus aren't an organelle. If you were wondering how large a muscle cell is, a muscle cell is about as big as a general animal cell, but are a little larger. I hope this helps you.
What organelle found in muscle but very few in fat cell?
The mitochondria
Which organelle would be highly prevalent in muscle and nerve cell?
mitochondria
What is a long Filamentous organelle found within the muscle cell?
myofibrilmyofibril
What does heart muscle cell do?
it pumps your heart
What organelle would be most common in a muscle cell?
Mitochondria - to produce the ATP needed for muscle contraction
What organelle does one expect to be absent in human skeletal muscle cells?
Skeletal muscles, as do numerous other cell types, have their own 'individual' functions, but on a intracellular basis they are all uniform in their general functions. Each organelle has a specific, crucial cellular function that transcends cell type and as such must be necessarily present in all cell types, I think.
