Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, is made up of sarcomeres that allow for contractility. However, unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is under involuntary control. The cardiac muscle is responsible for the contractility of the heart and, therefore, the pumping action.
Detailed explanation-2: -The heart muscle has a large number of mitochondria to provide sufficient energy. The heart muscle needs the energy to pump blood into the body. Pumping is promoted by mitochondria. The heart muscle is very active and continuously functioning, so it needs more energy.
