➤ Answer :-

The layers of the heart are :-

→ Myocardium

→ Epicardium

→ Endocardium

________________________________

Myocardium :-

  • Myocardium is one of three types of vertebrate muscles, with the other two being skeletal and smooth muscles.
  • It is an involuntary, striated muscle that constitutes the main tissue of the walls of the heart.

Epicardium :-

  • When the visceral layer of serous pericardium comes into contact with heart it is known as the epicardium.
  • The epicardium is the layer immediately outside of the heart muscle proper.
  • The epicardium is largely made of connective tissue and functions as a protective layer.

Endocardium :-

  • The endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart.
  • Its cells are embryologically and biologically similar to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels.
  • The endocardium also provides protection to the valves and heart chambers.
