The outer layer of the heart is termed
epicardium and the heart is surrounded by a small amount of fluid enclosed by a fibrous sac called
Kaynak: Endocardiumpericardium, which is fused to and inseparable from the fibrous pericardium, and the visceral pericardium, which is part of the
epicardium .
Kaynak: PericardiumThe outer layer is called the
epicardium , or visceral pericardium since it is also the inner wall of the pericardium. The middle layer is

epicardium develops from other cells, most likely from
