The type of muscle that powers the cardiovascular system is cardiac muscle.

Here's why:

* Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. It is responsible for the rhythmic contractions that pump blood throughout the body.

* Skeletal muscle is attached to bones and allows for voluntary movement.

* Smooth muscle is found in the walls of organs like the stomach and intestines, and it controls involuntary movements like digestion.
