Identify the incorrect heart anatomy statement: A. Endocardium is the smooth inner lining of the heart, which is continuous with the tunica intima of the vasculature. B. The parietal pericardium is a fibrous connective tissue layer that forms the outer wall of the pericardial sac. C. The visceral pericardium is firmly adhered to the surface of the heart. D. Myocardium is thicker in the right ventricle wall than in the wall of any other chamber.
