The Fibrous Pericardium

Question

The fibrous pericardium:
A)forms a sac around the heart
B)is attached to the bases of the great vessels
C)both A and B
D)both A and B and superiorly is attached to the diaphragm

Accepted Answer

The fibrous pericardium does indeed form a sac around the heart, and it is also attached to the bases of the great vessels. Therefore, both options A and B are correct. Additionally, it is worth noting that superiorly, the fibrous pericardium is attached to the diaphragm, so option D is also technically correct. However, since option C includes both A and B, which are more directly related to the fibrous pericardium, it is a better choice.
