Cardiac Anatomy Flashcards
The heart rests on the
Diaphragm

Inferiorly
Points to the left
Fibrous connective sac that encloses the heart
Pericardium
2 layers of pericardium
- Fibrous pericardium(outermost layer)
2. Serous pericardium(innermost layer)
What are the 2 functions of the fibrous pericardium the outer most layer of the pericardium?
- Prevents the heart from over stretching
2. Anchors the heart from the mediastinum
What is the 2 layers of the serous pericardium the inner most layer of the pericardium?
- Visceral serous pericardium(“epicardium”)
- adheres tightly in the heart(huggy bear)
- Parietal serous pericardium
- outermost layer of the serous pericardium
Pericardial fluids fxn,location and normal value
Lubricates the heart to dec. friction
Located b/w parietal and visceral serous pericardium

Decrease pericardial fluid will lead to
(+)Pericardial friction rub (+)pain =Pericarditis
Increase pericardial fluid will lead to
