The cardiac muscle is responsible for the contractility of the heart and, therefore, the pumping action.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our tongue is made up of voluntary muscles. Muscles that are under the control of one’s will are called voluntary muscles. Example: Skeletal muscle, composed of parallel bundles of striated, multinucleate fibres. Muscles that contract without conscious control are called involuntary muscles.
