Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Cardiac muscles are present in heart. Cardiac muscle tissue fibres show the characters of both striated and unstriated muscle fibres. The myofibrils have dark and light bands, thus they are striated but they are not under the control of the will of the animal, thus they are involuntary. They have intercalated discs at intervals. These discs permit the wave of muscle contraction to be transmitted from one cardiac fibre to another. This provides quick, powerful and rhythmic contractions to the heart.
