Question

Name the membrane that covers the heart.

Answer 1

Heart is considered as central part of nervous system, for pumping the blood, distributing oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The heart is made up of four chambers and valves which helps in the blood flow through out the body.

Atria are the two chambers which are located on the upper portion of heart and receives the blood which is oxygen free. Atrioventricular is the tricupsid valves on the left and mitral valve on the right which separates the atria chambers. Below there are ventricular valve which pumps oxygenated blood through out the body and like atria these separated by semilunar valve these are made up of pulmonary and aortic valve.

Pericardium is the membrane that covers the heart, it is a thin double layer membrane which protects the heart from injuries and external blow.
