südamelihases
Südamelihas, also known as cardiac muscle or myocardium, is a specialized type of muscle tissue found exclusively in the heart. It is one of the three major types of muscle in the body, the others being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. Südamelihas is responsible for the continuous and involuntary pumping action of the heart, which circulates blood throughout the body.
The cells that make up südamelihas are called cardiomyocytes. These cells are unique in several ways. They
The rhythmic contractions of südamelihas are initiated and regulated by the heart's own electrical conduction system.
Damage to südamelihas, such as that caused by a heart attack (myocardial infarction), can impair the heart's
