Endocarditis 1 Endocarditis is an inflammation of the valves of the heart. 2  Endocarditis is often caused by the growth of bacteria on one of the heart valves, leading to a mass known as a vegetation. 3  Symptoms can be nonspecific and include fever, malaise, shortness of breath, and weakness.

- 1 The fruit is a mature or ripened ovary. 2  A fruit consists of pericarp, that develops from the ovary wall, and seed derived from ovule. 3  The pericarp may be thin or thick and is usually differentiated into an outer epicarp, a middle mesocarp, and an inner endocarp. A fruit consists of pericarp, that develops from the ovary wall, and seed derived from ovule. 2  The pericarp may be thin or thick and is usually differentiated into an outer epicarp, a middle mesocarp, and an inner endocarp. 3  But in dry fruits, the pericarp is undifferentiated and is usually papery or woody.

Fruits Flowers and Seeds - Plant Biology Sometimes the endocarp is hard and stony such as a peach pit that surrounds the seed. The endocarp can also be papery as in apples, where it is barely visible in cross section. All three of these regions; the exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp, are collectively called the pericarp.

Endocardium The endocardium is the innermost layer of tissue that lines the chambers of the heart. Its cells are embryologically and biologically similar to the endothelial cells that line blood vessels.The endocardium also provides protection to the valves and heart chambers.ecently, it has become evident that the endocardium, which is primarily made up of endothelial cells, controls myocardial function.

Endocarditis Endocarditis is inflammation of the inside lining of the heart chambers and heart valves (endocardium). It is caused by a bacterial or, rarely a fungal infection. Endocarditis can involve the heart muscle, heart valves, or lining of the heart. Some people who develop endocarditis have a: Birth defect of the heart.

Endocarditis Endocarditis, also called infective endocarditis, is an infection and inflammation of the heart valves and the inner lining of the heart chambers, which is called the endocardium. Endocarditis occurs when infectious organisms, such as bacteria or fungi, enter the bloodstream and settle in the heart.

Types of Cardiac Tissue Endocardium. The endocardium is the name for the interior surface of the heart chambers. Endocardium also covers the heart valves, the one-way passages that allow blood to flow between chambers of the heart. The endocardium consists of endothelial cells, also known as skin cells.

Endocarditis Endocarditis is characterized by lesions, known as vegetations, which is a mass of platelets, fibrin, microcolonies of microorganisms, and scant inﬂammatory cells. In the subacute form of infective endocarditis, the vegetation may also include a center of granulomatous tissue, which may fibrose or calcify.

Endocardium - definition and function Endocardium - definition and function. Endocardium is the membrane that lines the inner HEART, made up of epithelial cells. The endocardium also covers the heart valves, providing a smooth surface that offers no opportunity for BLOOD cells (particularly platelets) to stick to it as they pass through the heart.
