Cardiac muscle tissue is a specialized form of muscle tissue that has evolved to pump blood throughout the body and it only found in the heart and makes up the bulk of the heart’s mass.
Intercalated discs
Intercalated discs are small connections that join cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) to each other.
Nucleus
The nucleus is the “control center” of a cell. It contains all of the cell’s genetic material. While skeletal muscle cells can have multiple nuclei, cardiac muscle cells typically only have one nucleus.
