<h2>Pericardium </h2>

Explanation:

Pericardium is the fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart and the roots of the great blood vessels

The pericardium's outer coat is called the parietal pericardium which is tough and thickened, loosely cloaks the heart, and is attached to the central part of the diaphragm and the back of the breastbone

Its inner coat is called the visceral pericardium or epicardium which is double, with one layer closely adherent to the heart and the other lining the inner surface of the outer coat

The intervening space between these layers is filled with pericardial fluid

This small amount of fluid acts as a lubricant to allow normal heart movement within the chest

What are the types of gametes​
Vika [28.1K]

In certain organisms, like humans, there are two morphologically distinct types of gametes: (1) the male gamete (i.e. sperm cell) and (2) the female gamete (i.e. ovum). The male gamete is smaller in size and motile whereas the female gamete is several times bigger and non-motile. The haploid condition of the two gametes is essential so that at fertilization during sexual reproduction the integrity of the chromosomal number is maintained throughout generations.

Hope this helps.
