Detailed explanation-2: -Three layers of tissue form the heart wall. The outer layer of the heart wall is the epicardium, the middle layer is the myocardium, and the inner layer is the endocardium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart and lines the chambers and extends over projecting structures such as the valves, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles.

Detailed explanation-4: -The wall of the heart separates into the following layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. These three layers of the heart are embryologically equivalent to the three layers of blood vessels: tunica adventitia, tunica media, and tunica intima, respectively.

Detailed explanation-5: -The walls of the heart are composed of three layers: Epicardium-the outer layer. Myocardium-the middle, muscular layer. Endocardium-the inner layer.
