The layers of the HEART {outermost-innermost}

1. Epicardium {This is the outer layer is also known as VISCERAL PERICARDIUM and contains fat, which helps to cushion the heart}

2. Myocardium {This middle layer is the thickest layer of the wall and is made primarily of cardiac muscle}

Endocardium {This innermost layer is thin and very smooth, and stretches as the heart pumps blood}
