The epicardium is part of what structure?
The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart wall and is part of the pericardium, which is the sac that surrounds the heart. It is a protective layer that helps lubricate and protect the heart.
Where is myocardial tissue?
You have three layers in the heart. Outer layer is pericardium, middle layer is myocardium and inner layer is endocardium. Myocardium is composed mainly of cardiac muscles, connective tissue and blood vessels.
If the blood supply to the myocardium stops what happens?
that part of the heart tissue dies
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 carries cardiac impulses to the myocardium?
Cardiac impulses are carried to the myocardium via specialized muscle cells called Purkinje fibers. These fibers are part of the cardiac conduction system and help to transmit electrical signals rapidly and efficiently throughout the heart muscle.
Which term refers to the membrane between the outermost and innermost part of the heart?
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".

Where is myocardial tissue?
You have three layers in the heart. Outer layer is pericardium, middle layer is myocardium and inner layer is endocardium. Myocardium is composed mainly of cardiac muscles, connective tissue and blood vessels.
The internal layer of the tissue in the heart is the epicardium?
Epicardium is the outer layer of heart tissue. When considered as part of the pericardium, it is the inner layer, continuous with the serial layer.
Part of myocardium is deprived of its blood supply and becomes?
dead or necrotic tissue.
If the blood supply to the myocardium stops what happens?
that part of the heart tissue dies
Coronary artery disease in the marginal arteries affect which part of the myocardium?
The penis
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 are the types of tissues in the heart?
(explination of previous answer)epicardium - outer layer of the heartmyocardium - the mucle part, contains the perkinje fibersendocardium - inner lining of the heart
What does muscles mean?
Your heart is a muscle. It is also called the myocardium. The muscle cells in the heart muscle are called myocardiocytes.
Is a myocardium organelles intestines and nervous system an organ?
The intestines are an organ. The myocardium is the muscular layer of the heart; it's a tissue. The nervous system is an organ system comprising a number of organs (heart, nerves, spinal cord, etc.). Organelles are a part of a cell.
How is blood carried to the tissue of the heart?
The coronary arteries carry blood to the heart tissue, such as the myocardium. These vessels are part of the systemic circulation.
