Cardiac Muscles

Cardiac muscles cells are striped, like skeletal muscle cells. Cardiac muscles contract automatically to squeeze the walls of the heart inward. The heart beats nonstop about 100,000 times each day. It can do this because of the cardiac muscles.

Most of your heart is made of cardiac muscle. The cardiac muscle never gets tired and never stops working until you die.
