B Cardiac muscles achieve tetany with every contraction. Cardiac muscle is characterized by striped muscle fibers connected together by. Contraction of the cardiac muscle cell is initiated by the action potential signal.
In all striated muscle cells contraction is triggered by a rapid voltage.
However these features of cardiac muscle also distinguish it from smooth muscle which is the third muscle. The cardiac muscle is characterized by striped muscle fibers linked by intercalated discs where the membranes are specialized to allow easy passage of electrical signals.
