Cardiac Muscle

Cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles that are found in the heart. They are similar to skeletal muscles due to their striations, however they can be differentiated from skeletal muscles due to the presence of intercalated discs that allows the heart cells to contract in a synchronized manner.

This image represents cardiac muscle tissues that contain branching fibers together with central nuclei. It contains striations and intercalated discs which enable synchronized contractions. And it also operates at an automatic level through involuntary signals to maintain heartbeat consistency.
