What are the characteristics of cardiac muscle?
Cardiac muscle is striated and involuntary, meaning it is under automatic control. It has intercalated discs that allow for synchronized contractions and has a high mitochondria density to support its continuous and rhythmic contractions. Additionally, cardiac muscle cells are branched to facilitate the spread of electrical impulses.
What types of cells contracts to move an animal?
muscle cells...
What type of nerve stimulates muscle cells to contract?
Somatic type of nerves stimulate the muscle cells to contract.
What are the two types of cellular junctions found at intercalated disc?
Cardiac muscle is network of branched fibers (cells) connected by gap junctions called intercalated disks.
Who do active cells have large numbers of mitochondria?
Skeletal muscle cells,cardiac muscle cells,sperm cells
Do smooth muscles have branched cells?
No, cardiac muscle cells are branched but skeletal muscle cells are linear and do not branch
Muscle cells that are branched and striated are?
skeletal muscles
Why is it important for cardiac muscle cells to be branched and interconnected with other cardiac muscle cells?
so electrical impulses can be carried freely between cells
Which muscle cells commonly branch?
Cardiac muscle cells commonly branch. This branching structure allows for coordinated contraction of the heart muscle, facilitating efficient blood pumping throughout the body.
How cardiac muscle fibers differ from the fibrs of skeletal muscle?
Both cardiac and skeletal muscle cells are striated and contract by the sliding filament mechanism. However, cardiac muscles cells are short, fat, branched, and interconnected unlike the long, cylindrical, multinucleate of skeletal muscle fibers.
What is a Highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells?
Glycogen is a highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells. It serves as a storage form of glucose, which can be quickly broken down to provide energy when needed by the body.
Is the smooth muscle branching or non branching?
branched
Why are muscle nerve and nerve cells different shapes?
Muscle cells are elongated and cylindrical in shape to allow for contraction and movement. Nerve cells, or neurons, have a unique branched structure with dendrites and axons to transmit electrical signals over long distances in the body. These specialized shapes help muscle cells generate force and nerve cells transmit information efficiently.

What are highly branched parts of the nerve cells?
axon

What muscle is striated and branched?
Also known as stripped muscles. These are the skeletal muscles.
