Thesubstance of the membrane is composed of connective tissue with muchelastic tissue, chiefly collected into a well developed network in thedeeper layer (fig. 436, c). The subserous areolar tissue is continuous with the interstitial tissuebetween the fibres of the myocardium. In it run the vessels and nervesbefore dipping down into the muscular substance, and a system of lym-phatic vessels, connected with the lymphatic spaces of the myocardium,also occurs here. The vessels and nerves are generally imbedded in a K K 2. 500 THE HEART. considerable amount of fat (fig. 436, e), Trhich is especially collectedin the furrows, but may in fat subjects extend as a layer co\ering thegreater part of the surface ; and may even be found in the largerinterspaces of the myocardium, and beneath the endocardium. The endocardium furnishes a hning to all the cavities of the heart,following the inequalities of the inner surface of the organ, and becomingcontinuous at the venous and arterial orifices with the inner coat of the Fig. 437.
