myocardium
Yes. For future refference myo as a prefix generally means it has something to do with muscle contraction. Cardi odviously means is has something to do with the heart.
The myocardium is not the innermost layer of the heart, the endocardium is.
The Endocardium, the inner layer of the heart.
The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart wall.

The third layer of the digestive system is the muscular layer, known as the muscularis externa. It is responsible for peristalsis, which is the contraction and relaxation of muscles to move food through the digestive system. The muscular layer helps mix and propel food along the digestive tract for digestion and absorption.
The layer of the heart responsible for pumping blood is the myocardium. This is the middle layer of the heart made up of cardiac muscle tissue that contracts to push blood through the circulatory system.
The myocardium (middle layer)
The thickest layer of tissue in the heart is the myocardium. It is the muscular middle layer responsible for contracting and pumping blood throughout the body.
No. The layer of the intestines composed of visceral muscle is called the muscularis externa. It is responsible for the movement and contraction of the intestines to facilitate digestion and absorption of nutrients.
The blood vessels are made up of an internal layer of muscle fibers, which are capable of contraction and relaxation. The contraction of the muscles reduces the lumen size of the vessel, making the blood flow faster while relaxation allows more room for blood to flow, thus blood flow rate is reduced.
Endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart, lining the chambers and valves. Myocardium is the middle layer, consisting of cardiac muscle responsible for pumping blood. Epicardium is the outermost layer, providing protection and serving as a barrier to infection.
Yes. For future refference myo as a prefix generally means it has something to do with muscle contraction. Cardi odviously means is has something to do with the heart.
The muscle layer of the heart is the myocardium (or cardiac muscle).
The myocardium is not the innermost layer of the heart, the endocardium is.
