When the visceral layer comes into contact with heart (not the great vessels) it is known as the epicardium. The epicardium is the layer immediately outside of the heart muscle proper (the myocardium). The epicardium is largely made of connective tissue and functions as a protective layer.he serous pericardium, in turn, is divided into two layers, the parietal pericardium, which is fused to and inseparable from the fibrous pericardium, and the visceral pericardium, which is part of the epicardium.
The outer epicardium is a relatively thin layer of tissue that consists of a covering mesothelium and a thin underlying layer of loose connective tissue that merges into the connective tissue sheaths of the myocardium. The loose connective tissue supports the blood vessels and nerves that supply the heart.
