Muscle only found in the heart that is resistant to fatigue is known as?
A
Cardiac
B
Smooth
C
Skeletal
D
Rough
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To accomplish this, the structure of cardiac muscle has distinct features that allow it to contract in a coordinated fashion and resist fatigue. The individual cardiac muscle cell (cardiomyocyte) is a tubular structure composed of chains of myofibrils, which are rod-like units within the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiac muscle is an involuntary striated muscle tissue found only in the heart and is responsible for the ability of the heart to pump blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cardiac muscle is highly resistant to fatigue, because it has numerous sarcosomes, many molecules of myoglobin (Oxygen storing pigment) and copious supply of blood which facilitate continuous aerobic respiration. The muscles are immune to fatigue and works tirelessly from embryonic state until death.
