myocardium
Visceral layer
Mitral valve
epicardium
Auricle
Heart wall
Serous pericardium
Left ventricle
Chronic pericarditis
Fibrous pericardium
endocardium
made of cardiac muscle
has a thicker wall, and pumps blood through aorta to all over the body
also called epicardium
accumulation of pericardial fluid in heart wall that affects heart filling with blood, heart output and cause low blood pressure
found in inside of right atrium, that extend into auricle
Left atrioventricular valve
sometimes caused by viral infection
pouches on anterior surface of atrium that increases capacity of atrium to hold more blood
has 2 layers (thin outside visceral layer of serous pericardium made of mesothelium), inside made of delicate fibroelastic tissue and adipose tissue
has 3 layers epicardium, myocardium and endocardium
4 rings that are fused and support the 4 heart valves and prevent overstretching and separate flow of electrical impulses
thin, delicate double layer around heart with outer parietal and inner visceral layers
Right atrioventricular valve
thin layer of endothelium thin layer of endothelium
Tendons that hold AV valves. They connect to papillary muscles.
tough, non elastic, made of dense irregular connective tissue and anchors heart to mediastinum
pumps blood to lungs via the pulmonary artery
