Pericardium andExternal features of Heart Dr. Sama ul Haque
Objectives • Define pericardium. • Differentiate between fibrous and serous pericardium. • Define pericardial sinuses. • Identify the borders and surfaces of the heart. • Describe the structure of the heart
Pericardium • Pericardium is a fibroserous sac that encloses the heart and roots of the great vessels. • Relations of Pericardium: • Anterior: • Body of Sternum • 2nd to 6th costal cartilages • Posterior: • 5th to 8th thoracic vertebrae
Layers of the Pericardium 1. Fibrous Pericardium Attached anteriorly to the sternum by Sternopericardial ligaments. 2. Serous Pericardium Two Layers: a. Parietal b. Visceral
Nerve supply of the Pericardium • 1. Fibrous Pericardium and Parietal layer of serous • Pericardium: • By Phrenic nerves • Visceral layer of Serous Pericardium: • By Sympathetic trunk and vagus nerves
Borders of the Heart Right border: formed by right atrium Left border: formed by left auricle and left ventricle Lower border: formed by right atrium & mainly by right ventricle
Surfaces of the Heart Sternocostal surface (Anterior surface): Mainly formed by right atrium and right ventricle. Diaphragmatic surface (Inferior surface): Mainly formed by right and left ventricles. Small portion is formed by right atrium. Base (Posterior surface): Mainly formed by left atrium. Apex: formed by left ventricle
Heart (Anterior Surface) Anterior Surface Apex
Heart (Posterior and inferior surfaces) Base Inferior Surface
Heart (Anterior view) SVC: Superior vena cava AA: Ascending Aorta PT: Pulmonary Trunk RA: Right Auricle RV: Right ventricle LV: Left ventricle IVC: Inferior vena cava SVC PT AA RA RV LV IVC
Heart (Posterior view) LA: Left auricle RA: Right auricle LV: Left ventricle IVC: Inferior vena cava LA RA IVC LV
Heart (Posterior interventricular Sulcus or Groove)Coronary or Atrioventricular Sulcus or Groove CS PIS
