9 Ιουν 2024 · Anatomic function: A tissue covering the inside of the heart, the endocardium keeps the blood flowing through the heart separate from the myocardium, or cardiac muscles. It also lines the valves, which open and close to regulate blood flow through the chambers of the heart.
The endocardium lines the chambers and valves of the heart and controls myocardial function. It also acts as a blood–heart barrier and is involved in heart development and disease.
2 Μαρ 2024 · The endocardium is the innermost lining layer of the heart, which facilitates blood flow, prevents clotting, participates in conduction, regulates myocardial function and contributes to valve integrity. Learn about its anatomy, functions and clinical relevance in various heart conditions and diseases.
4 Αυγ 2023 · Endocardium (Innermost Layer of Heart) The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart wall lining the internal chambers of the heart and the heart valves. It provides a smooth surface for efficient blood flow inside the heart chambers.
4 Ιαν 2024 · Endocardium. The innermost layer of the cardiac wall is known as the endocardium. It lines the cavities and valves of the heart. Structurally, the endocardium is comprised of loose connective tissue and simple squamous epithelial tissue – it is similar in its composition to the endothelium which lines the inside of blood vessels.
3 Νοε 2023 · Once the bacteria carried by the bloodstream reaches the heart valves, they invade the endocardium. Then they cause the destruction of heart tissue, which leads to the formation of friable vegetations composed of necrotic debris (destructed heart cells), thrombi, and microorganisms.
Endocardium is the inner lining of the heart chambers and blood vessels, composed of three layers: endothelium, subendothelial layer, and elastic layer. Learn about its structure, function, and pathology from various chapters and articles on ScienceDirect Topics.
