Cardiac Muscle Tissue Location. The cardiac muscle cells are Y-shaped cells and they are shorter and wider than skeletal muscles. Cardiac and skeletal myocytes are sometimes referred to as muscle fibers due to their long and fibrous shape.
Striated one nucleus per cell branched ends. Highly coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle pump blood into the vessels of the circulatory system. The myocardium is one of three types of muscles in the body including the myocardium skeletal muscles and smooth muscles.
Coronary arteries supply to the cardiac muscle and cardiac veins.
The cells of cardiac muscle. An intercalated disc allows the cardiac muscle cells to contract in a wave-like pattern so that the heart can work as a pump. The other two types are skeletal muscle tissue and smooth muscle tissue. Figure 1021 Cardiac Muscle Tissue Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart.
