The outer layer of the pericardium is known as the fibrous pericardium. It is a tough, fibrous sac that surrounds the heart and the inner serous pericardium, providing structural support and protection. This layer helps anchor the heart within the mediastinum and prevents over-expansion during heart contractions. It also plays a role in limiting the movement of the heart within the chest cavity.
