There are two outermost of the periodical. The two outermost periodical are the fibrous pericardium and serous pericardium.
The outermost layer of the pericardial membrane is the fibrous pericardium. It is a tough, protective layer that surrounds the heart and helps anchor it in place within the chest cavity.
The outermost layer of the pericardial membrane is the fibrous pericardium, which is composed of dense connective tissue and helps protect the heart and anchor it in place within the chest cavity.
Pericardial cavity
Pericardial cavity
Encloses cardiac space.
The pericardial fluid
Pericardial effusion.
Pericardial edema is the swelling of the pericardial tissue due to excess fluid accumulation within the tissue itself. Pericardial effusion, on the other hand, is the collection of excess fluid within the pericardial sac surrounding the heart. Both conditions can lead to cardiac complications if left untreated.
Normal pericardial fluid is clear to straw colored. During pathological examination normal pericardial fluid does not contain blood, cancer cells, or bacteria.
pericardial cavity
The space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium is called the pericardial cavity. This cavity contains a small amount of pericardial fluid that acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between the membranes during heart contractions.
Pericardial fluid is a fluid that is secreted by the serous membrane on the pericardious sac on the outside of the heart.
