APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -[1] Cardiomyocytes are striated, uninucleate muscle cells found exclusively in the heart muscle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The heart consists mostly of cardiac muscle cells (or myocardium). The outstanding characteristics of the action of the heart are its contractility, which is the basis for its pumping action, and the rhythmicity of the contraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are 4 chambers that make up the heart – 2 on the left side and 2 on the right. The 2 small upper chambers are the atria. The 2 larger lower chambers are the ventricles. These left and right sides of the heart are separated by a wall of muscle called the septum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cardiac muscle tissue works to keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements. This is one feature that differentiates it from skeletal muscle tissue, which you can control. It does this through specialized cells called pacemaker cells. These control the contractions of your heart.
