Which layer of the heart wall lines its chambers? Which layer of the heart wall contains muscle? The pericardial space lies between which layers of the heart wall? Pericardial fluid is secreted by the: ____.
Understand the Problem
The questions are asking about the layers of the heart wall, their functions, locations, and related physiological concepts.
Answer
26: Endocardium, 27: Myocardium, 28: Visceral and parietal pericardium, 29: Serous pericardium
26: Endocardium, 27: Myocardium, 28: Visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium, 29: Serous pericardium
Answer for screen readers
26: Endocardium, 27: Myocardium, 28: Visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium, 29: Serous pericardium
More Information
The endocardium is the innermost layer, lining the heart chambers. The myocardium is the muscle layer responsible for contractions. The pericardial space, containing fluid for protection, lies between the visceral and parietal pericardium. Pericardial fluid lubricates the heart and is secreted by the serous pericardium.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the layers of the heart wall with the layers of the pericardium. It's important to differentiate between them clearly.
