peri-around card-heart itis-inflammation pericarditis. endo-inside, endocarditis, inflammation inside the heart myo-muscle, myocarditis, inflammation of heart musclePericarditis
Pericardium: visceral- lining organ, parietal-= cavity lining Epicardium- surface if the heart Myocardium- muscle wall, cardiac muscle Endocardium- inner lining- chamber walls
Endocarditis (endo = within + card = heart + itis - inflammation) is a reaction to trauma of the inner membrane of the heart and the heart valves. This trauma is usually due to a viral or bacterial infection or the result of toxins produced by viral or bacterial action in another part of the body. If only a heart valve is inflammed then the word would be "Valvulitis" preceded by the valve name (tricuspid valvulitis).
Pericarditis is the inflammation of the pericardium, a two-layer membrane which is the sac surrounding the heart.paracarduim inflamation is inflamation of the paracarduim which is a thin membranic sac that surrounds and prtoects the heart.
the heart
The prefix is endo- which means inside or inner.
Cervicitis means inflammation of the cervix.
The endothelium is the medical term meaning lining of the blood vessels, including those of the heart. It is continuous with the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves.
ConjunctivitisconjunctivitisConjunctivitis = the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the pink membrane lining the inner eyelids.Conjunctivitis
Bacterial endocarditis is infection of the inner lining of the heart caused by bacteria. People with serious valve disease are at greater risk for bacterial endocarditis.
Epicardium: is the line on the exterior of the heart, ie the portion interacting with other organs.Myocardium: is the layer in which the muscle residesEpicardium: is the inner lining on the heart. ie the portion in contact with the blood being pumped
Endocardium (endo = within + cardi = heart + um = noun ending) is that innermost membrane lining the chambers of the heart. The other membranes are the myocardium (myo = muscle), epicardium (epi = on top) and pericardium (peri = around).
