Myocardium

This video tutorial explores the myocardium, a crucial muscular layer of the heart. It begins with an introduction to the myocardium's definition and function, followed by a detailed description of the heart's four layers: pericardium, epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. The tutorial highlights the myocardium's three primary functions: providing structural support for heart chambers, aiding in the contraction and relaxation of cardiac walls, and conducting electrostimulation. The video concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub, emphasizing the interactive and engaging nature of learning anatomy through their platform.
