cardiac muscle The type of muscle that is found in the walls of the heart. Cardiac muscle is striated but branched, unlike the straight-shaped striated skeletal muscle cells. PICTURE ...
cardiac muscle
(kar-dee-ak)
A type of muscle that forms the contractile wall of the heart; its cells are joined by intercalated discs that relay each heartbeat.

Cardiac Muscle
Cardiac or heart muscle resembles skeletal muscle in some ways: it is striated and each cell contains sarcomeres with sliding filaments of actin and myosin.
Cardiac Muscles
Cardiac muscle is a special type of tissue that is only found within your heart. Did you know your heart was actually a very strong muscle? Like skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscles cells are striated or striped.
Cardiac muscle resembles skeletal muscle in the regularity of the structural elements and the last of individual cells. However, it is not under voluntary control.
cardiac muscle Specialized type of muscle tissue found only in the heart.
cardioactive glycoside Sugar-containing molecules with an active compound that affects the heartbeat.
cardiovascular system See circulatory system.
Cardiac Muscle (striated) Cardiomyocytes are a highly specialized cell type. These involuntarily contracted cells are located in the heart wall and operate in concert to develop synchronized beats.
Cardiac muscle fibers are a type of striated muscle found only in the heart. The cell has a bifurcated (or forked) shape, usually with the nucleus near the center of the cell.
See twitch muscle, catch muscle: cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is a striated but involuntary muscle responsible for the pumping activity of the vertebrate heart.
Its cells differ from ordinary cardiac muscle cells in being more spindle-shaped. They are, moreover, more loosely arranged and have a richer vascular supply than the rest of the heart muscle.
Skeletal muscle (striated): Unlike cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle can develop a sustained condition known as tetany through high frequency stimulation, resulting in overlapping twitches and a phenomenon known as wave summation.
The middle and thickest layer of cardiac muscle in the heart wall.

Autonomic NS the functional part of the NS which controls visceral and cardiac muscles; includes sympathetic and parasympathetic NS

Cardiac muscle is very specific tissue found in your heart. Voluntary muscle is the muscle that helps you move. All of those tissues add up to a muscular system that is found through your body.
parasympathetic nervous system- part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates the involuntary activity of glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. It is derived from the vagal and sacral neural crest cells.
pump by blocking the dephosphorylation of the E2 conformation of the pump protein. Inhibition of the pump in cardiactissue cells leads to a higher level of sodium ion in the cells, which slows the extrusion of calcium ion and enhances cardiac muscle ...
