The sac that envelops the heart and the roots of the aorta, superior and inferior vena cava, and the pulmonary veins and arteries.
The membrane surrounding the heart.
a loose-fitting membrane that encloses the heart; it consists of an outer fibrous layer and an inner serous layer
a tough fibrous layer of tissue normally covering the heart.
kardia = heart; of two types: visceral (covering the heart) and parietal (lining the pericardial sac).
a double-layered serous membrane that surrounds the heart
a film like the bag covering the circumference of the heart
Greek peri = around, and kardia = heart; hence, the membranes enclosing the heart.
The membrane covering of the heart
A membrane sac surrounding the heart and the vessels close to the heart.
per-ee-KAR-de-um Connective tissue sac that houses the heart. 718
the conical sac of serous membrane that encloses the heart and the roots of the great blood vessels of vertebrates and consists of an outer fibrous coat that loosely invests the heart and is prolonged on the outer surface of the great vessels except the inferior vena cava and a double inner serous coat of which one layer is closely adherent to the heart while the other lines the inner surface of the outer coat with the intervening space being filled with pericardial fluid.
the sac that contains the heart and produces fluid which allows the heart to move easily.
(pawr'-ih-KAWR-dee-uhm) The serous membrane associated with the heart that is composed of two layers, an inner visceral pericardium and an outer parietal pericardium.
A sac-like envelope surrounding the vertebrate heart and the pericardial cavity in arthropods and mollusks.
the membrane that surrounds the heart.
the sac that covers the heart.
The sac that surrounds the heart
A fibrous sac surrounding the heart and roots of the great blood vessels.
The fluid-filled outer sac of the heart.
Membranous sac enclosing the heart.
thin membranous covering of the outer surfaces of the heart
Heart's outer protective sac (membrane); fluid between this sac and the heart lubricates as it pumps
One of the six Yin channels whose function is subsumed within the Heart Organ Network. The Pericardium, along with the Triple-Burner, is not associated with an anatomical entity. It corresponds with the active function of the Heart in perfusing the body with Blood (arterial circulation) and with the passive function of harboring the Spirit (maintaining awareness).
A double membranous sac which envelops and protects the heart
The smooth sheet of body tissue that surrounds the heart.
The membranous sac filled with serous fluid that encloses the heart and the roots of the aorta and other large blood vessels.
Outer fibrous sac containing the heart.
double-layered sac surrounding the heart.
A thin membrane sac which surrounds the heart and roots of the great vessels.
tissue surrounding the heart
the mesothelium (q.v.) surrounding the heart
The tough sac of fibrous tissue that surround the heart and anchors it within the chest
the fibroserous sac enclosing the heart and the roots of the great vessels of the heart. It is composed of a fibrous external layer and a serous inner layer.
Fibrous bag surrounding heart in thorax.
The pericardium is the thin, double- layered lining that surrounds the heart.
The fibrous sac the heart.
The pericardium is a double-walled sac that contains the heart and the roots of the great vessels.
