Question
Chapter 10, Problem 24RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How the tissues of the cardiac muscle contracts without the neural stimulation.
Introduction:
Only in the heart, the cardiac muscle cells are found. The cells of the cardiac muscles have excitable membranes and have organized myofibrils. The presence of sarcomeres, which are aligned, provides a striated appearance to the cells.
