What else can I help you with?
The serous membrane covering the inner surface of the heart is the what?
parietal pericardium
Lining of the heart is called what?
Endocardium
Where is endocardium located?
The endocardium is a thin layer of tissue that lines the inside of the heart chambers and heart valves. It is located beneath the myocardium (muscle layer) and covers the inner surface of the heart.
What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
The infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more space for chemical reactions involved in cellular respiration to take place.
What is endocardium in the heart?
The prefix is endo- which means inside or inner.
Structure and properties of inner and outer surface of centrifugal casting?
In centrifugal casting, the outer surface is typically smoother than the inner surface due to the centrifugal force exerted during the process, which pushes impurities towards the inner surface. The outer surface also tends to have a finer grain structure compared to the inner surface. The inner surface may exhibit greater porosity and can be more susceptible to defects due to the cooling process occurring more rapidly on this surface.
What muscles line the heart?
Pericardium: visceral- lining organ, parietal-= cavity lining Epicardium- surface if the heart Myocardium- muscle wall, cardiac muscle Endocardium- inner lining- chamber walls
What is the fatty substance that sticks to the inner surface of the arteries?
Cholesterol is the fatty substance that can stick to the inner surface of arteries, forming plaque. This can lead to a condition called atherosclerosis, which can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
What does the folding of the mitochondrial inner membrane provide?
The folding of the mitochondrial inner membrane forms structures called cristae, which increase the surface area of the inner membrane. This increased surface area allows for more space for the electron transport chain and ATP synthase complexes to carry out oxidative phosphorylation, the process that produces ATP in mitochondria.
Which layer serves the dual purpose of forming the inner layer of the pericardium and forming the outermost wall of the heart?
The epicardium serves the dual purpose of forming the inner layer of the pericardium and the outermost wall of the heart. It is a thin, transparent layer that covers the surface of the heart and is also known as the visceral layer of the pericardium.
What is Medial surface of heart and gallbladder?
What is Medial surface of heart
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
