Men with eating disorders have far more treatment options than a decade ago but their needs still go largely unaddressed in what remains a female-centric realm. That’s cause for concern, warn experts on eating disorders, especially considering the difficulty of getting men into treatment in the first place.
“There is already enormous stigma for having something that is considered a ‘female problem’,” says Tom Wooldridge, assistant professor of psychology at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, California.
Though research over the past decade indicates men account for a quarter of cases of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia — far more than previously believed — treatment is still largely geared toward women. In fact, it even exists at the diagnosis stage. Among the factors identified as possible indicators of an eating disorder, for example, is irregular menstruation.

Answer:
The correct order in which the three layers of the heart meet, from the inside to the farthest from the blood is endocardium, myocardium and epicardium.
Explanation:
The three layers that make up the walls of the heart are called, from the innermost to the outermost endocardium, myocardium and pericardium.
- <em>Endocardium </em><em>is made up of specialized epithelium, called the endothelium. It covers the internal chambers of the heart, as well as the valves.
</em>
- <em>Myocardium</em><em> is the muscular layer that allows the contractile and pumping function of the heart. It is a type of muscle fiber similar to striated muscle, but called cardiac muscle fiber.
</em>
- <em>Epicardium </em><em>is the outermost layer, formed by epithelial tissue attached to the outer portion of the myocardium. It constitutes the visceral sheet of the pericardium.</em>
The three layers of the heart have a specific purpose and are necessary for the normal functioning of this vital organ.
