Labeled Cardiac Muscle. Skeletal muscle fibers of the longitudinal section 3. From the skeletal muscle histology slide you might identify the following important structures under the light microscope.
Left ventricle sends blood to the right atrium receives blood from the Right atrium sends blood to the right ventricle sends the blood to the Left atrium receives blood from the. Learning histology was never so easy. Cardiac muscle cells or cardiomyocytes contain the same contractile filaments as in skeletal muscle.
Cardiac muscle fibers cells also are extensively branched and are connected to one another at their ends by intercalated discs.
Cross-section of skeletal muscle 3. Figure 1021 Cardiac Muscle Tissue Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart. Cardiac muscle cells have myofibrils similar to the myofibrils of skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is striated involuntary muscle found in the heart wall.
