    The document describes the anatomy of the heart and circulatory system, including the heart's size, location, and orientation within the chest. It details the heart's layers - the outer pericardium, middle myocardium of cardiac muscle, and inner endocardium. The heart contains four chambers and valves that regulate blood flow, producing heart sounds. Blood is pumped from the heart through arteries and returns to the heart via veins in a closed circuit.

    Pericardium
    Muscular layers of the heart
    Epicardium
    • Outside layer
    • This layer is the visceral pericardium
    • Connective tissue layer
    Myocardium
    •Middle layer
    •Mostly cardiac muscle
    •twisted and whorled into ringlike
    arrangements
    •It is the layer that actually contracts.
    reinforced internally by a dense, fibrous connective tissue network
    called the “Skeleton of the HEART”
