contractile cardiomyocyte [FBbt_00058241]
A cardiomyocyte whose contraction contributes to the peristaltic movement of the heart tube. These cells make up most of the wall of the dorsal vessel, along with the ostia-forming cells and the intracardial valve cells. They present a large number of mitochondria evenly distributed, and a centrally located nucleus that takes up more than half of the cell’s area (Lehmacher et al., 2012).
