|
-produces serous fluid
-keeps heart frictionless -made of squamous or cuboidal cells -underneath epicardium, loose CT houses blood vessels and nerves |
|
cardiac muscle
|
-fibres connected top to end(gap junctions)
-horiziontally they have tight junctions -centrally located nucleus -striated -dyads instead of triads -branched cells |
|
Atrial Myocardial cells
|
-hold secretory granules
-hold atrial atriuretic peptide(ANP), which lowers blood pressure |
|
Purkinje Fibres
|
-modified cardiac muscle cells
-less myofibrils, more mitochondria, glycogen(for ATP production), lots of gap junctions and well developed cytoskeleton |
