What is the special type of cardiac muscle in the heart called?

Step-by-step solution

The entire heart is made of cardiac muscles. The walls of ventricles are much thicker than that of the atria . A specialised cardiac musculature called the nodal tissue is also distributed in the heart . A patch of this tissue is present in the right upper corner of the right atrium called the sino-atrial node (SAN). Another mass of this tissue is seen in the lower left corner of the right atrium close to the atrio-ventricular septum called the atrio-ventricular node (AVN). A bundle of nodal fibres, atrioventricula
