functions to protect, anchor heart to surrounding structures, and prevent overfilling

has 2 layers:
parietal layer
visceral layer
two layers separated by pericardial cavity
parietal layer
lines interanl surface of fibroud pericardium
visceral layer
on external surface of heart
how many layers of heart wall, what are they?
