    Which tissue propels blood into circulation as it contracts and is located in the walls of the heart? 

    • Smooth muscle

    • Cardiac muscle

    • Skeletal muscle

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardiac muscle
    Explanation
    Cardiac muscle is the correct answer because it is the specific type of muscle tissue that contracts and propels blood into circulation. It is located in the walls of the heart and is responsible for the rhythmic contractions that pump blood throughout the body.
