What two layers make up the serous pericardium? Parietal and visceral layer
Lines the fibrous pericardium Parietal layer
Adheres to the outside of the heart Visceral layer
Aka the visceral layer, the outermost layer of the heart. Epicardium
Center layer of the heart that consists of muscular tissue. Myocardium
Striated muscle _____cause the heart to contract and relax. Myofibrils
Consists of a thin layer of endothelium and underlying connective tissue. Endocardium
The endocardium consists of? Heart wall, valves, chordate tendinae, papillary muscles
Receives unoxygenated blood from the ventricles. Right atrium
What is located to the right of the sternum and anterior in the chest cavity. Right atrium
What 3 vessels empty into the RA? SVC, IVC, coronary sinus
What is the normal RA pressure? 0-8 mmhg
