Pericardium

The pericardium is the pericardial sac or cardiac sac that surrounds the heart and protects it from damage. It consists of two layers of fabric - outer and inner. The outer layer of the pericardium is covered with a connective tissue membrane, which ensures its strength and resistance to damage.

The pericardium has several functions. First, it protects the heart from damage from strokes or other injuries. Second, the pericardium helps the heart pump blood throughout the body. It is also involved in the regulation of body temperature and metabolism between blood and tissues.

Symptoms of pericardial disease may include chest pain, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, cough and other breathing problems. If you experience these symptoms, you should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Pericardial disease can be caused by a variety of causes, including infections, trauma, tumors, and certain medications and toxins. Treatment may include medication, surgery, or a combination of both.

Overall, the pericardium is an important organ in our body that performs many functions and provides protection to the heart. Therefore, it is important to monitor his health and consult a doctor if symptoms of the disease appear.

Anatomy of the pericardium.

The pericardium is a thin serous membrane that surrounds the heart muscle called the myocardium. It is a complex complex of tissues, including a membranous membrane, a fibrous covering and a mesothelial covering.

* The tunica membranosa is a layer of smooth muscle and loose connective tissue covering the medial surface of the pericardium and containing thin slits to facilitate blood circulation. It plays a role in regulating the pressure between the inner and outer layers of the myocardium.
