Difference between Actin and Cardiac muscle

Actin vs. Cardiac muscle

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments. Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is one of the three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle.

Similarities between Actin and Cardiac muscle

Actin and Cardiac muscle have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adenosine triphosphate, Calcium, Cardiac muscle, Cell membrane, Cell nucleus, Coronary artery disease, Dilated cardiomyopathy, Fibroblast, Heart, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Immune system, Ion, Muscle contraction, Myofibril, Myosin, Restrictive cardiomyopathy, Sarcomere, Sarcoplasmic reticulum, Skeletal muscle, Smooth muscle tissue, Striated muscle tissue, T-tubule, Tropomyosin, Troponin.

Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex organic chemical that participates in many processes.

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), refers to a group of diseases which includes stable angina, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death.

Dilated cardiomyopathy

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition in which the heart becomes enlarged and cannot pump blood effectively.

Fibroblast

A fibroblast is a type of biological cell that synthesizes the extracellular matrix and collagen, the structural framework (stroma) for animal tissues, and plays a critical role in wound healing.

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition in which a portion of the heart becomes thickened without an obvious cause.

Immune system

The immune system is a host defense system comprising many biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Restrictive cardiomyopathy

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a form of cardiomyopathy in which the walls of the heart are rigid (but not thickened).

Sarcomere

A sarcomere (Greek sarx "flesh", meros "part") is the basic unit of striated muscle tissue.

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a membrane-bound structure found within muscle cells that is similar to the endoplasmic reticulum in other cells.
