My money's on the myocytes. Although, if this was a trick question, I bet the answer would be glial cells. They're always throwing curveballs like that, aren't they?

Yeah, I agree. Glial cells are more for supporting and protecting neurons.

Myocytes, for sure. It's like the easiest question on this exam. Unless you're trying to trick us, and it's actually Merkel cells or something crazy like that.

Hmm, I want to say it's the myocytes, but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe I should have paid more attention during that lecture on the cardiovascular system.

Definitely myocytes. If it was any of the other cell types, I think I would have remembered that from my biology classes.

I agree with Vi, Myocytes make sense because they are muscle cells.

I'm pretty sure it's the myocytes. Those are the cardiac muscle cells that contract and generate the electrical impulses, right?
