How is the heart muscle different from other muscle tissue?

 

[Sir.Steezealot]

The heart is made up of cardiac muscle which is similar to the two other muscle types which I forget what there called maybe skeletal and smooth muscle?

 

[No_Dub]

yeah and the heart is designed to never have to stop, so you dont die. its special.

 

[Charlie_Kelly]

all above answers are right. there are three types of muscles (i forget there names) like arm muscles, throat muscles, and heart muscle. the heart is designed to beat automatically without your control.

hearts are for hipsters gtfo

yep, the heart is cardiac tissue. It is the most efficient muscle in the human body and the strongest. If all your tough muscle were cardiac we would have people sprinting marathons

^ i think this is right...

 

[ChillTeenDad420]

cardiac muscle is striated, if thats what you're looking for

 

[Balto]

ok wtf is up with you and hipsters today

 

[paige.]

both cardiac and skeletal muscle are striated (cardiac more so) and multinucleated, smooth muscle isn't. it also has lots of myoglobin and mitochondria.unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle has fewer, bigger t-tubules. it also has intercalated disks between its cells.
