Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Cardiac muscle tissue is a type of muscle found only in the heart. It's responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
What is the heart made of?
What is the heart made of?
The heart is a muscular organ with specialized tissues. It's made up of cardiac muscle, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.

Study Notes
Heart Structure and Function
- The heart is composed of three primary tissue types: cardiac muscle tissue, nerve tissue, and connective tissue.
- Cardiac muscle tissue is unique to the heart.
- Simultaneous contraction of all cardiac muscle fibers forces the heart to pump blood.
