Cardiac Tissue

Decent Essays
B1) this type of tissue is cardiac tissue. This tissue contains masses of mitochondria and intercalated disc. Cardiac tissue requires large amounts of energy and this type of tissue continuously contracts, providing energy. It also ensures the heart is contracting and relaxing well. The large number of mitochondria determines the function of this tissue because if there was fewer amounts of mitochondria than the heart won’t be contracting and relaxing as good if there were more mitochondria. This would be due to less energy being provided. The heart would not be working properly if there weren’t enough mitochondria. The heart pumps blood around the body and If there are not enough mitochondria then it won’t be as efficient as it won’t have

    The ventricle is where the majority of the work is done in the heart of Bufo marinus, as it is the chamber where blood pumps out into the blood stream through the aorta in order to travel around the body or flows through the pulmonary artery to the lungs to become oxygenated. As a result of the tasks this chamber completes, it is required that there is more muscle tissue in order to undergo the pressure required in these tasks. 6.
