No, heart cells and brain cells are not the same. While both cells are specialized and have specific functions, they are structurally and functionally different. Heart cells are responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, while brain cells, or neurons, are responsible for transmitting signals and information within the brain and nervous system. Additionally, heart cells and brain cells have different protein and gene expression patterns, leading to their distinct characteristics and functions.
