A layer of the heart wall composed of cardiac muscle.
Muscular ridges projecting from the walls of the ventricles of the heart.

What is the main difference between veins and arteries?
Veins are blood vessels that return blood toward the heart and arteries are blood vessels that conduct blood away from the heart.
Veins are blood vessels that conduct blood away from the heart and arteries are blood vessels that return blood toward the heart.
