New cards

Pericardium

double-walled sac that surrounds heart; made up of two layers

2
New cards

Superficial fibrous pericardium:

functions to protect, anchor the heart to surrounding structures, and prevent overfilling

3
New cards

Deep two-layered serous pericardium are

-Parietal layer

-Visceral layer (epicardium)

4
New cards

Parietal layer

lines internal surface of fibrous pericardium

5
New cards

Visceral layer (epicardium

on external surface of heart

6
New cards

Pericardial cavity

2 layers separated by fluid-filled for less friction

7
New cards

Pericarditis

inflammation of pericardium

-Roughens membrane surfaces, causing pericardial friction rub (creaking sound) heard with stethoscope

8
New cards

Cardiac tamponade

  • Excess fluid that leaks into pericardial space

  • Can compress heart’s pumping ability

9
New cards

Treatment for cardiac tamponade

  • Treatment: fluid is drawn out of cavity (usually with syringe)
