myocardium:心肌;指构成心脏壁中间层的肌肉组织,负责心脏收缩并推动血液循环。(在解剖学上常与心内膜 endocardium、心外膜 epicardium 并列;该词也可用于更广义的“心肌组织”。)
/ˌmaɪoʊˈkɑːrdiəm/
The myocardium pumps blood through the body.
心肌把血液泵送到全身。
After the heart attack, doctors checked whether the myocardium had been damaged and how well it was still contracting.
心肌梗死后,医生检查心肌是否受损,以及它的收缩功能是否仍然良好。
源自新拉丁语 myocardium,由两部分构成:**myo-**(来自希腊语 mys,意为“肌肉”)+ cardium(来自希腊语 kardia,意为“心脏”)。字面义即“心脏的肌肉(组织)”。
