epicardium - correct answer -outer protective layer of the heart.
Made of loose connective tissue including elastic fibers.
Myocardium - correct answer -muscular, middle layer of the heart,

wall.
endocardium - correct answer -Inner most layer of the heart.
Smooth muscle.
right atrium - correct answer -receives deoxygenated blood from
the body through the vena cava and pumps it into the right
ventricle which then sends it to the lungs to be oxygenated.
left atrium - correct answer -receives oxygenated blood from the
lungs through the pulmonary veins
, right ventricle - correct answer -pumps deoxygenated blood to the
lungs through the pulmonary artery
pulmonary valve - correct answer -valve between the right
ventricle and pulmonary artery, has 3 cusps.
aortic valve - correct answer -The semilunar valve separating the
aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back
into the left ventricle. Has 3 cusps.
mitral valve - correct answer -located between the left atrium and
left ventricle, prevents backflow of blood the the left atrium when
the left ventricle contracts. Has 2 flaps. Bicuspid valve or left
atrioventricular valve.
tricuspid valve - correct answer -A valve that is situated at the
opening of the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle and
that resembles the mitral valve in structure but has 3 cusps.
