Pericardium

1 Adipose Tissue

4 Myocardium

9 Pericardial Cavity

10 Parietal Pericardium

11 Visceral Pericardium

Term
Serous pericardium consists of two layers enclosing the _. The _ is inseparable from the _. Consists of a thin layer of loose connective tissue lined on the inside by mesothelium. The _ (or _) is attached firmly to _. It has a smooth mesothelial surface which sits on a stroma of loose connective tissue with
_ fibres.
Definition
Serous pericardium consists of two layers enclosing the PERICARDIAL CAVITY. The PARIETAL PERICARDIUM is inseparable from the FIBROUS PERICARDIUM. Consists of a thin layer of loose connective tissue lined on the inside by mesothelium. The VISCERAL PERICARDIUM (or EPICARDIUM) is attached firmly to HEART MUSCLE. It has a smooth mesothelial surface which sits on a stroma of loose connective tissue with
ELASTIC fibres.
Term
Thin walled chambers forming the base of the heart?
Definition
Atria
Term
An auricle is:
Definition
part of the atrium, a blind 'ear shaped pouch'
Term
Each atrium is divided into the _ and the _; the atria are divided from each other by the _; and are divided from the ventricles by a _, seen externally as the _.
Definition
Each atrium is divided into the SINUS VENARUM CAVARUM and the AURICLE; the atria are divided from each other by the INTERATRIAL SEPTUM; and are divided from the ventricles by a FIBROUS RING/BASE, seen externally as the CORONARY GROOVE.
Term
Thicker walled chambers forming the apex of the heart?
Definition
Ventricles
Term
Ventricles are separated internally by _ and this is seen externally as the _ and the _.
Definition
interventricular septum
seen externally as the:
paraconal interventricular groove (left lateral aspect)
