The muscle layer of the heart is the myocardium (or cardiac muscle).
What else can I help you with?
What is the thickest layer of the heart which is made up of muscle?
The thick muscle layer of the heart is the myocardium. It is the middle layer of the heart and produces pressure.
What is the thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the?
The thick layer of the heart wall that contains contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the myocardium. The layer of the heart wall synonymous with the visceral layer of the serous pericardium is epicardium.
What layer of the heart is the thickest layer of muscle?
Myocardium? why are you asking the geology section?
What is the middle layer of the heart called?
The middle layer of the heart is the myocardium
Which layer of the heart is made of cardiac muscle?
myocardium
What is the part that made of an inner layer of circular smooth muscle and an outer layer of longitudinal smooth muscle?
It's the heart
What three tissues make up the heart?
epicardium = the top layer that is actually 2 layers myocardium= the middle layer also the muscle endcardium= the inner most layer that separates blood from muscle
What makes up most of the middle layer in the heart wall?
Most of the middle layer in the heart wall is composed of cardiac muscle cells. Cardiac muscle cells are also known as cardiomyocytes.
What muscle walls of the heart are called the?
The muscle walls of the heart are called the myocardium. This thick, muscular layer is responsible for the heart's contraction and pumping action. It is located between the inner layer, the endocardium, and the outer layer, the epicardium, which together form the heart's structure. The myocardium varies in thickness depending on the heart chamber, being most prominent in the ventricles.
What is the layer of tissue or skin that encompasses the entire heart?
the heart muscle is enclosed by the 3 layers of tissue.the closest to the heart is the visceral layer of serous pericardium then parietal layer of serous pericardium and then the fibrous pericardium
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.
Layer of the heart wall containing cardiac muscle?
myocardium
