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. |
