   • Epicardium. Epicardium (epi-cardium) is the outer layer of the heart wall. It is also known as visceral pericardium as it forms the inner layer of the pericardium.
   • Myocardium. Myocardium (myo-cardium) is the middle layer of the heart wall. It is composed of cardiac muscle fibers, which enable heart contractions. The myocardium is the thickest layer of the heart wall, with its thickness varying in different parts of the heart.
   • Endocardium. Endocardium (endo-cardium) is the thin inner layer of the heart wall. This layer lines the inner heart chambers, covers heart valves, and is continuous with the endothelium of large blood vessels.

   The heart wall is comprised of three layers, the epicardium (outer), myocardium (middle), and endocardium (inner). These tissue layers are highly specialized and perform different functions. During ventricular contraction, the wave of depolarization from the SA and AV nodes moves from within the endocardial wall through the myocardial layer to ...

   Your heart is in the front of your chest. It sits slightly behind and to the left of your sternum (breastbone), which is in the middle of your chest. Your heart is slightly on the left side of your body. It sits between your right and left lungs. The left lung is slightly smaller to make room for the heart in your left chest. Your rib cage protects...

   What are the 3 layers of a heart?

   • Your heart walls are the muscles that contract (squeeze) and relax to send blood throughout your body. A layer of muscular tissue called the septum divides your heart walls into the left and right sides. Your heart walls have three layers: Endocardium: Inner layer. Myocardium: Muscular middle layer. Epicardium: Protective outer layer.

   What is the middle layer of the heart?

   • 2. Myocardium (Middle Layer of Heart) Myocardium is the middle thickest muscular layer made up of cardiomyocytes. It is responsible for the contraction and relaxation actions of the heart. The SA (sinoatrial) and the AV (atrioventricular) nodes of the heart conduction system are mostly located in this layer.

   What are the two layers of the endocardium?

   • The endocardium has two layers. The inner layer lines the heart chambers and is made of endothelial cells. Superiorly, is the second layer: a subendocardial connective tissue which is continuous with the connective tissue of the myocardium. Branches of the heart’s conduction system are immersed into the subendocardial layer.
