t acts as a lubricant. Visceral Pericardium ( AKAthe epicardium) is the sthin, smooth, moist serous layer t
hat covers heart surface.

t acts as a lobe. Visceral Pericardi - CORRECT ANSWER -
B. Pericardial cavity is the space between heart and pericardial sac that is filled with pericardial fluid tha

A. Epicardium(Visceral pericardium), Myocardium-thick layer of cardiac muscle -
fibrous skeleton is a network of collagen fibers and elastic fibers woven in between the cardiac muscle c
ells that provide structural support and elasticity that provides attachment for cardiac muscle cells as w
ell as a nonconductor important in coordinating contractile activities, Endocardium -

, 9. What is a Heart sounds, Auscultation, and describe (S1), (S2), (S3)?
A. Heart sounds are due to turbulent flow of blood as heart valves close. Auscultation is listening to sou
nds made by the body. (S1) is the firstRheart sound that is louder and longer, "LUBB", occurs when the A
V valves close. (S2) is the second heart sound that is softer and sharper, "DUPP'', occurs when the semil
unar valves close. (S3) a third heart sound is rarely audible in people older than 30 and is known as a tri
ple rhythm or gallop.
