Anat test 2 layers pericardial Flashcards
What are the 3 layers (superficial to deep) of the clinical pericardium?
Pericardial Mediastinal Pleura
Fibrous Pericardium
Parietal Serous Pericardium
What are the 3 layer of the anatomical pericardium (superficial to deep)
Parietal Serous Pericardium
Pericardial Cavity
Visceral Pericardium (epicardium)
What is the difference between anatomical and clinical pericardium?
Clinical pericardium are the 3 layers that are fused together to form the sac around the heart. Once the outer sac is removed you can see the pericardial cavity and the visceral pericardium (on heart) of the anatomical pericardium.
What is the phrenicopericardial ligament?
A ligament that connects the fibrous pericardium to the sternal portion of the diaphragm
