Autoregulation

Autoregulation is a process within many biological systems, resulting from an internal adaptive mechanism that works to adjust (or mitigate) that system's response to stimuli.

See Endocardium and Autoregulation

Bacteria

Bacteria (bacterium) are ubiquitous, mostly free-living organisms often consisting of one biological cell.

See Endocardium and Bacteria

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

See Endocardium and Blood vessel

Blood–brain barrier

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective semipermeable border of endothelial cells that regulates the transfer of solutes and chemicals between the circulatory system and the central nervous system, thus protecting the brain from harmful or unwanted substances in the blood.

See Endocardium and Blood–brain barrier

Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, with the other two being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. Endocardium and Cardiac muscle are Cardiac anatomy.

See Endocardium and Cardiac muscle

Cell (biology)

The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all forms of life.

See Endocardium and Cell (biology)

Embryology

Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of animal biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.

See Endocardium and Embryology

Endocarditis

Endocarditis is an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, the endocardium.

See Endocardium and Endocarditis

Endothelium

The endothelium (endothelia) is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

See Endocardium and Endothelium

Heart

The heart is a muscular organ found in most animals. Endocardium and heart are Cardiac anatomy.

See Endocardium and Heart

Heart valve

A heart valve is a biological one-way valve that allows blood to flow in one direction through the chambers of the heart. Endocardium and heart valve are Cardiac anatomy.

See Endocardium and Heart valve

Infarction

Infarction is tissue death (necrosis) due to inadequate blood supply to the affected area.

See Endocardium and Infarction

Ischemia

Ischemia or ischaemia is a restriction in blood supply to any tissue, muscle group, or organ of the body, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (to keep tissue alive).

See Endocardium and Ischemia

Muscle cell

A muscle cell, also known as a myocyte, is a mature contractile cell in the muscle of an animal.

See Endocardium and Muscle cell

Myocardial contractility

Myocardial contractility represents the innate ability of the heart muscle (cardiac muscle or myocardium) to contract.

See Endocardium and Myocardial contractility

Myocardial infarction

A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops in one of the coronary arteries of the heart, causing infarction (tissue death) to the heart muscle.

See Endocardium and Myocardial infarction

Pericardium

The pericardium (pericardia), also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. Endocardium and pericardium are Cardiac anatomy.

See Endocardium and Pericardium

ScienceDirect

ScienceDirect is a website that provides access to a large bibliographic database of scientific and medical publications of the Dutch publisher Elsevier.

See Endocardium and ScienceDirect

Stanford University

Stanford University (officially Leland Stanford Junior University) is a private research university in Stanford, California.

See Endocardium and Stanford University

Tissue (biology)

In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function.

See Endocardium and Tissue (biology)
