Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The cells are cylindrical in shape and arranged in branching networks. It is involuntary, meaning it is not under conscious control. The nuclei are located centrally within the cell and there is typically one nucleus per cell. Striations are present in cardiac muscle, giving it a striped appearance. Special features of cardiac muscle include intercalated discs, which are specialized junctions that allow for rapid communication between cells, and the presence of abundant mitochondria to meet the high energy demands of the heart.
