An/o means anus and -cele means protrusion, so anocele means protrusion of anus. Anoptosis means drooping anus.

Explanation: The myocardium is the muscle layer of the heart and is responsible for contracting in order to pump blood. The endocardium is the inner layer of the heart. The pericardium is the sac in which the heart is enclosed.
