Cardiac muscle cell

Skeletal, Smooth, and Cardiac muscles

The cardiac conduction system is a group of specialized cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the heart that send signals to the heart muscle causing it to contract. The main components of the cardiac conduction system are the SA node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers.

Cardiac muscle, large centrally located nuclei, intercalated disks

Cardiocytes, which make up cardiac muscle of the heart. Typically, each cell has one nucleus surrounded in glycogen and an abundant of mitochondria. We see prominent striations, and notches at the end of cells called intercalated discs. These discs allow for connection and communication between the cells. Its 3 features include: interdigitating folds to increase SA, fascia adherens and desmosomes that serve as mechanical junctions and lastly, gap junctions which serve as an electrical…

Purkinje fibres - Note: They are modified cardiac "muscle" 【 Note : Whole conduction system of heart is made of " modified cardiac muscles " 】

Microscopic view of cardiac muscle

cardiac cells

This photo displays cardiac muscle tissue. This tissue type is striated, branched, and has 1-2 nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue can be recognized by intercalated disks (dark thickened part). Cardiac muscle cells are bigger than smooth muscle cells and smaller than skeletal muscle cells. They control involuntary movement (the heart).
