Below given is the description of structure of Heart -

Explanation:

  • The human heart is a four-chambered muscular organ, shaped and sized roughly like a man's closed fist with two-thirds of the mass to the left of midline.
  • The heart is enclosed in a pericardial sac that is lined with the parietal layers of a serous membrane. The visceral layer of the serous membrane forms the epicardium.
  • Three layers of tissue form the heart wall -
  1. The outer layer of the heart wall is the epicardium.
  2. The middle layer is the myocardium.
  3. The inner layer is the endocardium.
  • The internal cavity of the heart is divided into four chambers:
  1. Right atrium
  2. Right ventricle
