I believe that hair and limbs are homology because all mammals have hair and similar limb structure. Hair loss and social behavior on the other hand are homolasy because not all mammals have them. Homology is the similar traits due to common ancestry while homoplasy is similar traits for other reasons other than common ancestry.

Explanation:

Cells are the building blocks of life, and a group of specialized cells form a tissue, which has a specific function.

In human heart, the cardiac muscle tissue is a specialized type of striated muscle tissue formed from cardiomyocytes. Their fibers are branched, have a single nucleus and are joined together by intercalated discs. This tissue contracts and releases involuntarily and helps the heart to pump blood throughout the body. Cardiac muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) are the muscle cells which form the cardiac muscle tissue. They are responsible for the rhythmic beating of the heart by expanding and contracting at the same time.
