Pericardium and External features of Heart Dr. Sama ul Haque Dr Rania Gabr 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 Serous Pericardium Pericardial Sinuses Pericardial Sinuses The lines of reflection between visceral and parietal pericardium form two pericardial sinuses, the transverse pericardial sinus and the oblique pericardial sinus. The transverse pericardial sinus lies anterior to the superior vena cava and posterior to the ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk. The oblique pericardial sinus lies posterior to the heart in the pericardial sac. Nerve supply of the Pericardium 1. Fibrous Pericardium and Parietal layer of serous Pericardium: By Phrenic nerves 2. Visceral layer of Serous Pericardium: By Sympathetic trunk and vagus nerves Location of the Heart Angle of Louis It is the angle at which the manubrium and sternum meet/articulate. It is an anatomical landmark for finding the second rib, approx. area of the carina Location of Heart Location of the Heart • It lies in the middle mediastinum. • The Heart is somewhat pyramidal in shape, having: • Apex • Sterno-costal (anterior surface) • Base (posterior surface). • Diaphragmatic (inferior surface) • It consists of 4 chambers, 2 atria (right& left) & 2 ventricles (right& left) 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 + apical part of left ventricle Upper border: Is formed by the 2 atria 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 Apex of the heart • Directed downwards, forwards and to the left. • It is formed by the left ventricle. • lies at the level of left 5th intercostal space 3.5 inch from midline. Note that the base of the heart is called the base because the heart is pyramid shaped; the base lies opposite the apex. The heart does not rest on its base; it rests on its diaphragmatic (inferior) surface Sterno-costal (anterior)surface This surface is formed mainly by the right atrium and the right ventricle. • Divided by coronary (atrioventricular) groove into : Atrial part, formed mainly by right atrium. Ventricular part , the right 2/3 is formed by right ventricle, while the left l1/3 is formed by left ventricle. The 2 ventricles are separated by anterior interventricular groove, which lodges : Anterior interventricular artery (branch of left coronary). Great cardiac vein. The coronary groove lodges right coronary artery. Diaphragmatic (Inferior)surface Formed by the 2-ventricles, mainly left ventricle (left 2/3). Slightly concave as it rests on diaphragm. Directed inferiorly & backward. Separated from base of heart by posterior part of coronary sulcus. The 2-ventricles are separated by posterior interventricular groove which lodges: Posterior interventricular artery Middle cardiac vein Base of the Heart (posterior surface) It is formed by the 2 atria, mainly left atrium, into which open the 4 pulmonary veins. It is directed backwards. Left atrium Lies opposite middle thoracic vertebrae (5-7). Is separated from the vertebral column by descending aorta, esophagus and oblique sinus of pericardium. Bounded inferiorly by post. part of coronary sulcus , which lodges the coronary sinus.
