can cadiac muscle summate
Like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle contractions are strong, and utilise a great deal of energy. Like some smooth muscle, cardiac muscle can contract without nervous stimulation (i.e. it is myogenic) and this enables the heart to be transplanted.
As part of an ongoing series of clinical and laboratory. studies by our group, a biomechanical study was designed to. compare epimysium incorporation versus perimysium incor-. poration in sutured muscle bellies. MATERIALS AND METHODS. An immature female Yorkshire cross pig weighing ap-. proximately 40 kg was acquired.
