MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The muscles of the heart, termed the myocardium, make up the middle and thickest layer of the heart wall. This layer lies between the single-cell endocardium layer, which lines the inner chambers, and the outer epicardium, which makes up part of the pericardium that surrounds and protects the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -The myocardium is the middle muscular layer of the heart. It is the thickest layer which lies between the single-cell endocardium layer, and the outer epicardium, which makes up the visceral pericardium that surrounds and protects the heart. The myocardium is composed of specialized muscle cells called cardiomyocytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The myocardium is thickest in the left ventricle, as this chamber must create substantial pressure to pump blood into the aorta and throughout systemic circulation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cardiac muscle (or myocardium) makes up the thick middle layer of the heart. It is one of three types of muscle in the body, along with skeletal and smooth muscle. The myocardium is surrounded by a thin outer layer called the epicardium (AKA visceral pericardium) and an inner endocardium.

Detailed explanation-5: -Myocardium – a thick, muscular middle layer that contracts and relaxes to pump blood around of your heart. Endocardium – a thin, inner layer that makes up the lining of the four chambers and the valves in your heart.
