Whereas, the brain tissue has spider web like structure. The cardiac muscle cell are made up of fibres. The function of cardiac muscle is to help the heart to pump blood. The function of brain tissue is to send messages to and from the brain. The cardiac muscle is present inside the ...
Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in the heart. Highly coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle pump blood into the vessels of the circulatory system. Similar to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is striated and organized into sarcomeres, possessing the same banding organization as skeletal muscle ...
Troponin and tropomyosin are present within cardiac muscle to regulate actin–myosin cross-bridge formation, in a manner similar to that of skeletal muscle. The major difference between cardiac muscle tissue and skeletal muscle is that cardiac muscle contains voltage-gated calcium channels that help ...
Cardiac tissue engineering might offer new solutions for the treatment of heart disease. Ideally, tissue engineered heart muscle could be utilized to replace diseased myocardium and thereby refurnish the heart with contractile elements. To achieve this goal, engineered heart muscle should exhibit ...
1.2.6.2 Cardiac muscle stem cells The heart is a post-mitotic organ. This view has changed, however, with the identification of SCs and progenitors residing in the adult heart muscle. Cardiac progenitors form a heterogeneous group of cells distributed in the muscle tissue of the heart, or myoc...
tissue. Autopsies performed on individuals who had successfully received heart transplants show some proliferation of original cells. If researchers can unlock the mechanism that generates new cells and restore full mitotic capabilities to heart muscle, the prognosis for heart attack survivors will be ...
2. Smooth muscle: It get its name because it isnot striated, and appear smooth under microscope. Also calledinvoluntary musclebecause it is controlled byANS Structure Muscle fibreis long (but not nearly as long as skeletal muscle fibre),spindle shaped and slender. Contain only one nucleus, sit...
Cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) aims to create contractile heart muscle tissues, able to replace missing (due to congenital heart defect) or dysfunctional parts of the heart (due to myocardial infarction), thus leading to cardiac repair.
