Coverings of the Heart: Anatomy
Pericardium – a double-walled sac around the
heart composed of:
1. A superficial fibrous pericardium
2. A deep two-layer serous pericardium
a. The parietal layer lines the internal surface of
the fibrous pericardium
b. The visceral layer or epicardium lines the
surface of the heart
They are separated by the fluid-filled
pericardial cavity
