Three major areas of study within ethics recognised today are: 1  Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determined. 2  Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action.
In a healthy heart blood flows one way through the heart due to heart valves, which prevent backflow. The heart is enclosed in a protective sac, the pericardium, which also contains a small amount of fluid. The wall of the heart is made up of three layers: epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium.he heart is a muscular organ in humans and other animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients, and also assists in the removal of metabolic wastes.
The wall of the heart is composed of three distinct layers. 2. The outermost layer, the epicardium, is made up of connective tissue and epithelium, and houses blood and lymph capillaries along with coronary arteries. 3. The middle myocardium consists of cardiac muscle and is the thickest layer of the heart wall. 4. The inner endocardium is smooth and is made up of connective tissue and epithelium, and is continuous with the endothelium of major vessels joining the heart. a. The endocardium houses Purkinje fibers.
