Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The organelle which is less developed in cardiac muscle than in skeletal muscle and its effect on the activation of muscle contraction in the heart.

Introduction:

Cardiac muscle is a striated muscle and it has many structural and physiological specifications. All the three types of muscle tissue, contraction occurs through a phenomenon known as Excitation Contraction coupling (EC coupling). EC coupling describes the method of changing associate electrical stimulus from the neurons into a mechanical response that facilitates muscle movement.
