Hi all,

 

So according to our lecturer, there exists a location within out body that has cardiac muscle (apart from the heart of course). Can anyone tell me where you would find cardiac muscle other than in the walls of the heart where it forms myocardium? I've tried researching this but to no avail. Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks in advance :P

If you find out, let me know.

 

I don't know of any other parts in the body that generate cardiac muscle unless it's a freak cell mutation.

I know that there are cells similar to cardiac muscle, such as neurons.

Other than that, I'm not aware of any other place in the body that has cardiac muscle cells.

Some thought is itching at my mind saying that it may be on a main artery or vein, but I'm not sure about that.
