Expert Solution

Step 1

The heart is a pump that transports blood through a network of arteries. Its function is to send oxygenated blood to the cells, tissues, and organs of the body while returning deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The heart must operate constantly, thus it is made up of specialized muscle tissue (cardiac muscle) that can depolarize spontaneously and continually to generate contractions.
