The myoepicardial plate is an anatomical organ in the human cardiovascular system, which is located between the epicardium and myocardium (the muscular layer of the heart). This is a thin plate that provides the connection between these two layers. The myoepicadial plate contains specialized cells that provide nutrition and protection between the epicardioids and myocytes (myocardial cells).
Myoepicardium is an anatomical structure that protects the heart from damage and infection. The myoplastic plate appears during embryonic development at the beginning of the 2nd month of pregnancy and is formed in the same period when intrauterine vessels begin to develop. The placenta does not contain myoepicardium.
Functions of the myoeporcardiole plate
They are part of the defense system in newborns, preventing infections and myocardial damage. Dense fibrous tissue of the intercostal muscle provides protection to the heart from penetrating injury and protective vibration Supports blood flow through the interstitial spaces within the myomass and hematopoiesis Developed gestationally Infuses water to form a hydrogel embedded in a saline (tissue) solution in the pericardial tissues during early development
