Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rapid, involuntary contraction and relaxation of the cardiac muscle are vital for pumping blood throughout the cardiovascular system. To accomplish this, the structure of cardiac muscle has distinct features that allow it to contract in a coordinated fashion and resist fatigue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiac Muscle Tissue These are involuntary muscles and the heart pumps the blood through cardiac contractions. The cells of the cardiac muscles known as the cardiomyocytes are striated. They are single-celled and uninucleated. The ends of the cells are joined and the junctions are called intercalated discs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiac muscles are a type of specialized, striated muscle found only in the heart. They are under the control of the autonomic nervous system, which means they are involuntary and work autonomously. They also contain blood vessels that supply nutrients to cardiac muscle tissue and remove waste products.
