What is the pericardium?
FIBROSEROUS sac surrounding the heart AND its great vessels

How many layers has the pericardium have and what are their names?
Consists of TWO layers
FIBROUS and SEROUS layers
Serous layer has TWO parts:
Parietal - lines the fibrous layer of the pericardium
Visceral - adheres to the heart

What are the names of the two parts of the serous layer?
Parietal - lines the fibrous layer of the pericardium
Visceral - adheres to the hear

Saggital= side view

Pericardial fluid

Reduces friction

Cardiac tamponage
Cardiac tamponade, also known as pericardial tamponade, is when fluid in the pericardium (the sac around the heart) builds up and results in compression of the heart.

Name the 4 main vessels of the heart?
Aorta - ascending aorta + aortic arch
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Pulmonary TRUNK - bifurcates and goes to the two lungs

Pulmonary TRUNK - bifurcates and goes to the two lungs
One to each lung
Until it has divided it is a trunk





Brachio=arms
Cephalic= head


common- gonna further subdivided
Left common corotid arter

jugular=neck

Carotid= sleep
