Three Layers of the Heart epicardium, myocardium, endocardium
atrioventricular valves Valves located between the atrial and ventricular
chambers on each side of the heart, prevent
backflow into the atria when the ventricles are
contracting. Tricuspid on the right, Mitral on the
Left.
semilunar valves pulmonary and aortic valves located between the
right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and
between the left ventricle and the aorta
