• Cardiac muscle tissue works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements.

• keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements. This is one feature that differentiates it from skeletal muscle tissue, which you can control.

• keeps your heart pumping

How is a Cardiac Muscle cell made?

• A cardiac muscle is made by a dead piece of skin

• Cardiac muscle fibers also possess many mitochondria and myoglobin, as he cell is produced primarily through aerobic metabolism. Cardiac muscle fibers cells also are extensively branched and are connected to one another at their ends by intercalated discs.
