Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The pericardium consists of two layers, a visceral layer lined by mesothelial cells and a parietal or fibrous layer lined also by mesothelial cells but with attached fat and fibrous tissue. The mesothelial layer secretes a small amount of pericardial fluid, usually 50 mL of clear fluid which allows both surfaces to slide together during the cardiac cycle. The fibrous layer is usually 1 mm in thickness while the visceral layer is a transparent membrane on the surface of the heart [1].
