Cardiac and Nervous Muscle Tissue

The document describes two types of involuntary muscle: cardiac muscle, which is found in the heart and is characterized by rhythmic contractions, and nervous tissue, which consists of neurons that transmit signals throughout the body. Neurons have distinct structures including dendrites, a cell body, and an axon, allowing for rapid communication. The interaction between nerve and muscle tissue facilitates movement in response to stimuli.

One more type of involuntary muscle is found in the walls of the heart.
They are called cardiac muscles.
Heart muscle cells are cylindrical, branched and uninucleate.
The muscles of the heart shows rhythmic contraction and relaxation through out
the life.
