The endocardium is the most inner layer of the heart. It forms the inner layer of all four heart chambers and is directly connected to all the inner cardiac appendages, such as the bicuspid valve, the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the aortic valve, the chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles.
Valves of the Heart. The heart functions by pumping blood both to the lungs and to the systems of the body.

The heart valves can be broken down into two types: atrioventricular and semilunar valves.
