Cardiac Muscles -

Location- 

  • These muscles are present in the walls of the heart and in the large veins like pulmonary veins and superior vena cava.

    
Structure- 

  • These show characters of both striped and unstriped muscles.
  • Each muscle fibre is a long and cylindrical structure having a definite sarcolemma. 
  • Fibres contain a single nucleus in the centre.
  • Fibres possess certain lateral branches that form a contractile network. 
  • These lateral branches are called oblique bridges.
  • Cardiac muscles have intercalated discs. 
  • Intercalated discs function as boosters of contractions wave and permit the wave of muscle contraction to be transmitted from one cardiac fibre to another.
