cardiac tissue
Myocardium, essentially speaking
Cardiac tissue is the specialized muscle tissue that makes up the heart.
Unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac tissue contracts rhythmically and involuntarily, generating the heartbeat.
Its cells are uniquely interconnected, allowing electrical signals to spread rapidly so the heart contracts as a coordinated unit.
