The top of the heart location Correct Answer: second intercostal

Base of the heart location Correct Answer: 5th intercostal and mid clavicular line on the left

Endocardium Correct Answer: The innermost layer of the heart

chordae tendinae Correct Answer: connective tissue that keep the AV valves in place

Heart skeleton Correct Answer: Pericardium, parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium or epicardum
and pericardial sac
