The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Muscle Tissues**: Muscle tissues are specialized tissues in the body that have the ability to contract and enable movement. They are classified into three main types: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. 2. **Identifying Muscle Types**: - **Skeletal Muscles**: These are attached to bones and are responsible for voluntary movements. They are striated (striped) in appearance and can get fatigued after prolonged use. - **Smooth Muscles**: These are found in internal organs (like the digestive tract) and are not under voluntary control. They appear smooth and can sustain contractions for longer periods but still can tire. - **Cardiac Muscles**: These are found only in the heart. They are striated like skeletal muscles but are involuntary, meaning they function without conscious control. 3. **Functionality and Fatigue**: The question asks for the type of muscle tissue that functions continuously without fatigue. - Skeletal muscles get tired with exertion. - Smooth muscles can sustain contractions but are not continuously active. - Cardiac muscles, however, continuously contract and relax throughout a person’s life without tiring. 4. **Conclusion**: The only muscle tissue that functions continuously without fatigue is the **cardiac muscle**. **Final Answer**: The muscular tissue which functions throughout life continuously without fatigue is the **cardiac muscle**. ---
