\nCardiac muscle tissue forms the walls of the heart. Its cells, called cardiomyocytes, are cylindrical and branched. They are typically uninucleate (containing one nucleus), although some may have two nuclei. They are also striated due to the arrangement of contractile proteins. Skeletal muscle cells are cylindrical, unbranched, and multinucleate. Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and uninucleate.

\nCardiac muscle cells are characterized by being cylindrical, branched, and predominantly uninucleate.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIntercalated discs, which are specialized junctions between cardiac muscle cells, are another characteristic feature of cardiac muscle tissue.
