Strongest Muscle

Explain why the heart can be considered the muscle with the greatest elastic strength.

Elastic strength is the ability of a muscle to absorb, store, and release energy. The more energy the muscle releases, the faster and more powerful the movement. The fact that the heart pumps 2,500 gallons (9,450 liters) of blood daily makes it the muscle with the greatest elastic strength.
