Q. 30. The **epicardium** and the **pericardium** are related but distinct structures of the heart: 1. **Epicardium**: - The epicardium is the **outermost layer of the heart wall**. - It is also known as the **visceral layer of the serous pericardium**. - This layer is in direct contact with the heart muscle and plays a role in protecting the heart and producing pericardial fluid. 2. **Pericardium**: - The pericardium is a **double-layered sac** that surrounds the heart. - It consists of two main layers: - **Fibrous Pericardium**: The tough, outer layer that protects and anchors the heart. - **Serous Pericardium**: This inner layer is further divided into: - **Parietal Layer**: Lines the inner surface of the fibrous pericardium. - **Visceral Layer (Epicardium)**: Covers the heart itself. - The space between the parietal and visceral layers is called the **pericardial cavity**, which contains pericardial fluid to reduce friction during heartbeats. In summary, the epicardium is a part of the pericardium, specifically the inner layer that directly covers the heart.
Q. 18. When the reproductive process stops in women, typically during menopause, the ovaries significantly reduce the production of two key hormones: **estrogen** and **progesterone**. This decline in hormone levels leads to the end of menstrual cycles and various other changes in the body.

- It is also known as the **visceral layer of the serous pericardium**.
- This layer is in direct contact with the heart muscle and plays a role in protecting the heart and producing pericardial fluid.
2. **Pericardium**:
- The pericardium is a **double-layered sac** that surrounds the heart.
- It consists of two main layers:
- **Fibrous Pericardium**: The tough, outer layer that protects and anchors the heart.
- **Serous Pericardium**: This inner layer is further divided into:
- **Parietal Layer**: Lines the inner surface of the fibrous pericardium.
