Solution

The uninucleated, striated, tubular, and branched muscles that form the wall of the heart are known as cardiac muscles. They serve to bring about rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the heart to allow the pumping of blood to all parts of the body. The blood is involved in the supply of nutrients and the removal of waste from various organs and tissues.
