cardiac muscle walls of the stomach and intestines walls of blood vessels
Cardiac muscle is only found in the heart.
The coronary arteries carry blood to the cardiac muscle, providing it with oxygen and nutrients. These arteries branch off from the aorta.
The heart pumps blood through the body. The heart is an organ which is composed of the cardiac muscle.
Arteries have smooth muscle in their walls. The smaller the artery is, the less muscle is found. Veins have none, they count on the skeltal muscles to move blood back to the heart. The veins also have valves which prevent back flow.
Cardiac muscle - found only around heart, involuntary Smooth - found in hollow internal structures - stomach, blood vessels, intestines. Involuntary Skeletal - Attached to bones, voluntary
Skeletal muscle: Found attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement. Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. Smooth muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and blood vessels, responsible for involuntary movements like peristalsis.
There are three different muscles * skeletal muscle(moves bones) * smooth muscle(moves organs and blood vessels) * cardiac muscle(heart)
Human muscle tissues are either skeletal, smooth, or cardiac. Each has unique properties. Skeletal muscle is used to move you around, breathe, etc. Smooth muscle is found in blood vessels, and cardiac muscle is found only in the heart.
The circulatory system = the heart + the blood vessels. The heart is a muscle, but the muscle fibers are slightly different to skeletal muscle. Arteries has a thin layer of muscle cells that surround them so that they can constrict or expand the blood vessels in order to regulate blood pressure.
Both Cardiac and Skeletal muscles help the circulatory system. The cardiac muscle is in the heart, which cycles the blood through the veins and arteries. Skeletal muscle helps push blood in distal blood vessels against gravity into the inferior vena cava and then the heart.
Skeletal (like in your arms and legs), smooth (like your blood vessels), and cardiac (your heart).
