- - - - Visceral layer of serous membrane
    - - Heart muscle
    - - Lines the heart and covers valves
  - - - Looks like zipper, containing desmosome like structures.
        
        Electrical signals pass thorough gap junctions
  - - - Control bloodflow also creating the sound of heartbeat
  - - - Specialized mass of cells
        
        Located in the interatriall septum
    - - Our pacemaker
        
        Located in right atrium, Spreads signals through gap junctions

        Found in skin, skeletal muscle, CNS and lungs
      - Fenestrated
        
        Holes/pores for easy diffusion
        
        Found in sm. intestine, kidneys
    - - Large clefts to pass large molecules
        
        Found in Liver, red bone marrow adn spleen
- - - - Globulins-anti-bodies that protect us from pathogens
      - Fibrinogen-hepls in blood clotting
      - Albumin-helps keep water in the blood
