Answer:

Myocardium

Step-by-step explanation:

Myocardium is the main part of the heart that does most of the pumping. It relaxes and squeezes (contracts) to pump blood in the left ventricle. It contracts and forces the blood to flow through the aorta and the aorta's branches carry the blood to the rest of the body's tissues.
