Heart Physiology for the heart to work properly contraction and relaxation of chambers must be coordinated cardiac muscle tissue differs from smooth and skeletal muscle tissues in several ways that suit its function in the heart Histology of Heart cardiac muscle fibers (=cardiocytes) relatively short, thick branched cells, 50-100 µm long striated myofibrils are highly ordered usually 1 nucleus per cell rather than tapering cells are bluntly attached to each other by gap junctions = intercalated discs myocardium behaves as single unit but atrial muscles separated from ventricular muscles by conducting tissue sheath atria contract separately from ventricles need constant supply of oxygen & nutrients to remain aerobic greater dependence on oxygen than skeletal muscles Conducting System cardiac muscle cells are not individually innervated as are skeletal muscle cells they are self stimulating the rhythmic beating of the heart is coordinated and maintained by the heart conducting system heart has some specialized fibers that fire impulses to coordinate contraction of heart muscle innervated by autonomic NS
