Immagine 03


Immagine 03. Endocardium. (a) Three layers can be recognized in the endocardium: the endothelium with its basal lamina (arrowheads); a subendothelial layer (short arrows) comprising delicate, loosely dispersed, and multidirectional collagen fibrils; and the elastic layer (HPS stain; 200 ×). (b) The latter (arrows) is best appreciated with an elastic stain (Movat stain; 200 ×). (c) The subendothelial layer (asterisks) is more prominent in the atrial endocardium, particularly the left atrium (HPS stain; 40 ×). (d) The smooth muscle component (asterisks) in the elastic layer is especially prominent in the left atrium as well as the left ventricular septal region (not shown). Note the epicardial serosal lining (arrowheads) (Movat stain; 40 ×).
