fibrous connective tissue bag surrounding the heart
fibrous pericardium

fibrous pericardium
Which layer of the pericardium is, blends with connective tissues surrounding the great vessels(aorta, vena cava, pulmonary trunk)?
fibrous pericardium
Which layer of the pericardium is a thin, continuous, serous membrane that forms a double layer around the heart
serous pericardium
Which layer of the pericardium is, it covers the external surface of the heart wall and great vessels and the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium.
serous pericardium
Which layer of the pericardium is this?
- thin layer adheres to the fibrous pericardium
- very difficult to sperate from the fibrous pericardium in anatomical specimens
serous pericardium outer layer
(aka parietal pericardium)
serous membrane , it secretes serous fluid into the pericardial cavity in order to reduce friction as the heart beats within its protective sac, the pericardium
serous pericardium inner layer (aka visceral pericardium)
a potential space between the two layers of the serous pericardium containing a thin film of lubricating serous fluid
pericardial cavity
Where is each layer located in relation to the layers of the heart wall and the other layer of the pericardium?
what is the name of the serous pericardium on the external surface of the heart wall
epicardium
the serous pericardium on the external surface of the heart
epicardium
layer of cardiac muscle and the cardiac conducting system; thickness varies depending on the work required of the muscle
myocardium
what lies between the myocardium and epicardium?
coronary vessels and a variable amount of fat
simple squamous lining the of the heart; continuous with endothelium of blood vessels
