🗑
endocardium   show
🗑
myocardium   show
🗑
show outermost layer of the heart(also the inner layer of the pericardium)  
🗑
show sac in which the heart is contained. serous fluid found in the sac prevents friction as the heart beats  
🗑

🗑
show affects the atria only by decreasing the heart rate, conduction and irritability
