A+ For This Analogy...

a: Cardiac muscle ~
b: Russian doll

What:

"Each cardiac muscle is like a Russian doll where division into smaller units always seems to be possible. The muscle itself is composed of a large number of muscle cells called muscle fibres or myocytes. In turn each muscle fibre is built up by many myofibrils, a cylindrical structure often as long as the muscle itself."
