cardiac muscle tissue in dogs

Muscle tissue composed of cardiac muscle cells, forming the muscles of the heart[ZFA,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cardiac muscle tissue is

Muscle tissue composed of cardiac muscle cells, forming the muscles of the heart[ZFA,modified]. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the cardiac muscle tissue is

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the cardiac muscle tissue connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of circulatory system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cardiac muscle tissue. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as cardiac muscle, cardiac muscle muscle tissue, cardiac muscle textus muscularis, heart muscle muscle tissue, heart muscle textus muscularis and heart myocardium muscle tissue, and 16 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cardiac muscle tissue?

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the cardiac muscle tissue connect to?

Part of: circulatory system.

Is the cardiac muscle tissue the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
