Answer:

Both are similar due to origin of the membrane voltage and impulse propagation whereas both are different in their function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardiac muscle cell are similar to a nerve cell because both have the same origin of the membrane voltage and impulse propagation also occurs in the same manner whereas, cardiac muscle cell is different to a nerve cell because cardiac muscle cells form the cardiac muscular system while nerve cells form the nervous system. Muscle cells are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of heart while on the other hand, nerve cells are responsible for the transmitting of nerve impulses throughout the body.
