CARDIOLOGY - Anatomy, Surgery and Trauma Flashcards
What is the pericardium
Double-walled fibrous membrane enclosing heart and roots of great vessels
What is the function of the fibrous pericardium
Protects heart against sudden overfilling
What is the pericardial cavity?
Potential space between visceral and parietal layers of pericardium
Through which sinus do the aorta and pulmonary trunk leave the pericardium?
