Pericardium outer sac
Myocardium muscle bulk of mass
Endocardiumi inner
lining
Coverings of the heart Anatomy
Pericardium a doublewalled sac around the heartcomposed of
1 A superficial fibrous pericardium
2 A deep 2 layer serous pericardium
The parietal layer linesthe internal surface of the fibrous pericardium
The visceral layer or epicardium lines the surface of theheart
They are separated
by the fluid filled pericardial cavity
, Coverings of the heart physiology
The pericardiumi
1 Protects r anchors the heart
2 Prevents overfilling of the heart w blood
3 Allows for the heart towork in a relatively friction free environment
Epicardium i a visceral layer of the serous pericardium
Heart wall
Myocardiumi a cardiacmusclelayer forming the bulk of the heart
1 Branching musclecells arranged in bundles
2 Provides support for great vessels values
3 Directs spread ofaction potential across heart
4 fibrous skeleton of the heart i crisscrossing interlacing layer of connective tissue
insulation supports greatvessels
