1 gru 2021 · Pericardium and epicardium. The normal pericardium is a sac that envelopes the heart, except at the 2 orifices, corresponding to the entrances and exits of the arterial trunks and veins surrounded by their pericardial reflections (Central Illustration, Figure 2) (31).
1 sty 2017 · The image on the right shows the visceral pericardium as it covers an area of the heart with abundant adipose tissue in the epicardium (such as the interventricular and atrioventricular grooves or around the coronary vessels).
3 lis 2023 · The pericardium is the membrane that encloses the heart and the roots of the major heart vessels, consisting of an outer fibrous layer (fibrous pericardium) and an inner double serous membrane layer (serous pericardium).
anatomical structures of the parietal pericardium are shown from its mediastinal surface, including its ligaments to the sternum, diaphragm and vertebral column. The attachments of the parietal pericardium to the great vessels showing the intrapericardial location of the root of the aorta and pulmonary artery are documented. Also the ...
Although several photographs and illustrations have attempted to show the anatomy of the human pericardial space (2), 3-dimensional understanding of its complex anatomy in relation to surrounding mediastinal structures and the entry sites of cardiac nerves has been challenging.
Abstract. The pericardium consists of a visceral mesothelial monolayer (epicardium) that reflects over the great vessels and joins an outer, relatively inelastic fibrous parietal layer of organized collagen and elastin fibers, between which is a potential space that normally contains up to 50 mL of plasma filtrate.
29 gru 2023 · Abstract. In this chapter, we have examined the genesis and anatomical details of the pericardial sinuses and recesses due to pericardial reflections around the great vessels, gross and ultrastructural features of fibrous and serous pericardium, applied anatomy, and physiology of the normal human pericardium.
