The walls of the heart are made up of three layers of cardiac muscle called epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. These muscle layers are made up of different things.
The outermost layer is the thin epicardium muscular covering of the heart. This layer is made up of mostly connective tissue and fat.
The inside layer is a thick layer of muscle called the myocardium which is made up of cardiomyocytes, excitable cells that can propagate quickly and can spread their action potentials to surrounding cells. Each cell can physically contract to make the heart muscle shorten. This is the largest layer and accounts for about 80% of the heart.
The inner lining muscle layer of the heart is a smooth membrane called endocardium. It is made up of endothelial cells just like the linings of the blood vessels.
The heart wall is composed of three layers-outermost epicardium, middle myocardium and innermost endocardium. The epicardiumis the thin mesodermal serous membrane representing the visceral layer of peritoneum of pericardial cavity. The endocardiumis also a thin epithelial, but endodermal, membrane. It is reinforced by some smooth muscle fibres and possesses many blood vessels. It lines the cavities of heart chambers and covers their partitions, various valves and other internal structures. The myocardium forms the remaining bulk of the heart wall between epicardium and endocardium. It is composed of branched and striated, yet involuntary cardiac muscleswhich contract and relax rhythmically at a fixed rate throughout life without fatigue. Each cycle of contraction and relaxation of these muscles constitutes a heartbeat.

The walls of the heart are made from an epithelial tissue.The walls of the heart are made from an epithelial tissue.
Muscles.Hear has three walls,endomcardium,myocardium,pericardium with all three has different components.
Cardiac muscle and an important nerve plexus, called the ventricular bundle, which conducts nerve impulses from the AV node through the heart to control speed and strength of each heartbeat.
The wall of the heart are made up of paricadium,it contains fluids to reduce friction as the heart pumps continuously

What is a continuation of the electrical system of the heart that follows the outer walls of the ventricle?
The His-Purkinje system is the part of the heart's electrical system that follows the outer walls of the ventricle.
What type of muscle is found only in the walls of the heart?
Cardiac muscle forms the muscular wall of the heart. Cardiac muscle is involuntary muscle.
Which hormone is released by cardiac muscle in response to abnormal stretching of the heart walls?
ANP
Why do arteries need strong walls?
Because it have a pressure it must pump the blood and carry it away from the heart
How have arteries adapted to carry blood away from the heart?
The heart pumps the blood out in high pressure so the artery walls are strong and elastic,the walls are thick and contains thick layers of muscle to make them strong , and elastic fibres to allow them to stretch and spring back
What are the 16 segments such as anterior lateral inferior apical etc walls of the heart called?
I would like to know what the apical segments of the anterior wall and apical septum are?
The walls separating an annelids segments are known as?
septa
What compares the intersection of two adjacent walls to the floors?
Do intersecting line segments compare the intersection of two adjacent walls to the floor
What are body segments on a worm called?

What type of tissue is found in the walls of the arteries that leave the heart but not in the walls of the large veins that enter the heart?
elastic tissue
Why are circles or heart shaped figures not considered polydons?
No straight segments.
How many walls does the human heart have?
The human heart has 4 sides.
What muscle are heart walls composed to?
The heart is composed of cardiac muscle.
What muscle are heart walls composed of?
cardiac
What are the walls that divide the heart called?
CHAMBERS?
What is a continuation of the electrical system of the heart that follows the outer walls of the ventricle?
The His-Purkinje system is the part of the heart's electrical system that follows the outer walls of the ventricle.
