Down
- 1. inner layer aka elastic collagen

- 4. inferior to atria; larger than atria; thicker walls
- 5. space containing heart
- 7. expanded areas above aortic valve; lead into right and left
- 9. space between middle and inner; filled with fluid called serous fluid; friction between layers
- 12. triple layered membrane that surrounds the heart
- 13. inner layer; on surface of heart
- 14. not enough fluid; inflammation of peric layers
- 15. away from heart; carry O2 blood
- 16. strands of tissue
- 17. carries O2 blood; "systemic"heart to body system
