Which term refers to the membrane between the outermost and innermost part of the heart?

∙ 12y ago
The tissue of the heart is composed of three major layers:
The outer most is the Epicardium. "Epi" refers to "outside"
The inner most layer is the Endocardium. "Endo" refering to "inside"
The layer in between is called the Myocardium. It is the thickest layer and is composed of cardiac muscle. Thus its name, as "myo" is a prefix meaning "muscle".

In a cell what is the periplasm?
This refers to the area around the plasma membrane. In a bacterium, the area between the plasma membrane and the the bacterial cell wall.
The term pollex refers to the?
thumb: the thick short innermost digit of the forelimb
What is a difference in electric charge called?
The chemical gradient refers to the imbalance of substances across the membrane. The Electrical Gradient refers to the difference of charges between substances on different sides of the Membrane. The Electrochemical Gradient refers to the combination of the previous two gradients. The short answer is MEMBRANE POTENTIAL.
What is the Difference between osmosis and diffuusion?
osmosis refers to the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion refers to everything else tending towards equal concentration.
Term that refers to a membrane potential of about -70 mv?
Resting membrane potential
What is the difference between endosymbiosis and invagination?
Endosymbiosis refers to the engulfment of a prokaryotic cell that developed into an organelle, whereas invagination refers to the membrane folding in on itself and forming membranous organelles.
What term refers to the number of electrons found on the outermost energy level of an atom?

What is a roof membrane?
That probably refers to the layer of roofing felt(paper) that lies between the roof sheathing(plywood) and the shingles..a fallen limb could tear thru that "membrane" and rain could become an issue
Why is called the fluid mosaic model?
Fluid refers for the frequent lateral movement of phospholipids within the membrane. Mosaic refers to the collage of intrinsic proteins that stud the membrane.
What are the difference between protoplast and spheroplast?
The term protoplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-positive bacteria. Spheroplast refers to the spherical shape assumed by Gram-negative bacteria. The difference is essentially the presence of a single membrane, in the case of the protoplast, and the two membranes (inner and outer) of the Gram-negative spheroplasts. It is also possible to generate a gram-negative protoplast by the removal of the outer membrane. Thus, in essence, protoplast refers to a bacterial sphere that is bounded by a single membrane and spheroplast refers to a sphere that is bounded by two membranes
Selective permeability refers to the fact that the plasma membrane keeps all molecules out of the cell?
Selective permeability refers to the fact that the plasma membrane can choose which molecules to let in or out of the cell.
