Solution
Tissue present in the heart
- Heart is composed of cardiac muscle tissue.
- They are involuntary, branched and striated muscles.
Property of heart tissue
- Heart tissue has the property of self excitation and conductivity.
- Intercalated discs between two cardiac muscle cells contain gap junctions, through which ions pass. This makes the cardiac muscle cell contract as a single unit.
- This helps the heart to continuously beat in a coordinated manner.
