What type of muscle is found only in the walls of the heart?
Cardiac muscle forms the muscular wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle.
What type of of muscle is found only in the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
What type of cells are found in the heart?
"I am not sure of names but i know that many cells make up the heart! Try to look on the Internet for your answer. Hope this helped a bit :)" You got to be kidding me... that wasn't helpful at all, but whatever. In the heart you can find: - Myocardiocytes - those are the cells performing the rhytmic contraction of the whole heart. - Endothelial cells - those are the supporting epithelial cells, insulating the chambers of the heart and the veins.
What is the primary tissue type of the heart?
Cardiac muscle.
Can the heart contain smooth muscle?
No, they are not. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart.This is a specialized muscle that, while similar in some fundamental ways to smooth muscle and skeletal muscle, has a unique structure and with an ability not possessed by muscle tissue elsewhere in the body. Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. Meaning that some of the cells can beat on their own without any nerve stimulation.
