Anteater is a common name for the four mammal species of the suborder Vermilingua (meaning worm tongue) commonly known for eating ants and termites.nteaters are mostly solitary mammals prepared to defend their 1.0- to 1.5-mi 2 (2.6- to 2.9-km 2) territories. Normally, they do not enter a territory of another anteater of the same sex, but males often enter the territory of associated females.
Endocardium (endo-cardium) is the thin inner layer of the heart wall. This layer lines the inner heart chambers, covers heart valves, and is continuous with the endothelium of large blood vessels. The endocardium of heart atria consists of smooth muscle, as well as elastic fibers.
Endocarditis is an infection of the inside lining of the heart (the endocardial lining). Endocarditis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, and can involve the endocardial lining of the heart valves and of the heart muscle itself. Giving antibiotics to try to prevent endocarditis is referred to as endocarditis prophylaxis..
