Layers of the Heart
1. ENDOCARDIUM- inner layer, lines inside of heart, covers valves
2. MYOCARDIUM- middle layer, contraction/ pumping
3. EPICARDIUM- external layer (visceral pericardium) contains coronary arteries
4. PERICARDIUM- outer covering, encloses the heart, approx 10 cc fluid between 2 inner layers
4
