Detailed explanation-1: -Visceral layer of the serous pericardium: This is the innermost layer of your pericardium. It directly covers your heart and the roots of your great vessels. The portion that covers your heart is also known as your epicardium.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pericardium is a double-walled structure made up of an outer fibrous layer and an inner serous layer. The fibrous layer of the pericardium is a single connective tissue layer that is made up of collagen (type I and type III mainly) and elastin fibers; it is elastic and yet non-distensible.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrous pericardium is the outer fibrous sac that covers the heart. Parietal pericardium is the layer between the fibrous pericardium and visceral pericardium. Visceral pericardium is both the inner layer of the pericardium and the outer layer of the heart wall. 27-Jul-2021
