elastic
fibrous connective
simple squamous
cardiac muscle
smooth muscle
The heart is roughly the size of:
a chicken thigh
a clenched fist
the gallbladder
an apple

base
interventricular septum
blood vessels
the inferior point of the heart:
apex
base
interventricular septum
blood vessels
The heart is surrounded by the ___ cavity
pulmonary
pericardial
thoracic
mediastinal
the muscle layer of the heart is the:
fibrous pericardium
serous pericardium
endocardium
myocardium

fibrous pericardium
serous pericardium
endocardium
myocardium
select the correct statement about heart anatomy
approximately one-third of the mass of the heart is to the left of the midsternal line
the heart extends from the 2nd rib to the 5th rib
the typical human heart weighs about 5 pounds
the heart lies posterior to the vertebral column
function(s) of the pericardium include(s):
preventing expansion of the heart
pumping blood into circulation
removing excess fluid from the heart chambers
providing the heart tissue with a continuous supply of nutrients
The pericardial cavity:
is another name for the chambers of the heart
is the space between the fibrous and visceral pericardium
is the region of the thoracic cavity that contains the heart
contains a lubricating fluid called serous fluid
select the correct statement about the structure of the heart wall.
the fibrous skeleton forms the bulk of the heart
the epicardium is actually the fibrous pericardium
the heart chambers are lined by endomysium
the myocardium is the layer of the heart that actually contracts
the heart wall is composed of ___ layers of tissue
