The pericardium (from the Greek ÏÎµÏÎ¯, around and ÎºÎ¬ÏÎ´Î¹Î¿Î½, heart) is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. The pericardial sac has two layers, a serous layer and a fibrous layer. It encloses the pericardial cavity which contains pericardial fluid. The pericardium fixes the heart to the mediastinum, gives protection against infection, and provides the lubrication for the heart.
Best Answer: The double-layered membrane called the PERICARDIUM surrounds the human heart like a sac. * Additional info if you are interested.The outer layer of the pericardium surrounds the roots of the heart's major blood vessels and is attached by ligaments to the spinal column, diaphragm, and other parts of the body. The inner layer of the pericardium is attached to the heart muscle.he membrane the directly covers the heart is called the visceral pericardium....but there is also a membrane around this membrane, forming a cavity, that is called the parietal pericardium.
