    The document describes the structure and layers of the heart. It includes diagrams labeling the major arteries and veins as well as the layers of the heart walls. The four layers of the endocardium from innermost to outermost are the subendocardial, myoelastic, subendothelial, and endocardiac layers. The myocardium is the thick middle layer composed of cardiac muscle. The three layers of the heart are identified as the inner endocardium, middle myocardium, and outer epicardium. Myocardial infarction is briefly described as oxygen deprivation leading to contraction bands and necrosis of cardiac tissue.
