This is an axial view of the thoracic cavity contents. The heart and lungs are dissected and the chambers of the heart are visible. The right ventricle is located to the right of the structure indicated by the blue arrow and it has thinner myocardium making up its walls compared to the left ventricle – it can be distinguished from the other chambers of the heart by its thick muscular myocardium

b
Right ventricle
QuestionChoice
The pericardial cavity is a fluid filled space located in between the two layers of the pericardium surrounding the heart. You can see this layer of tissue surrounding the heart in a continuous circular manner and in between the muscle of the heart and this layer there is a cavity, which is the pericardial cavity. The arrow, however, points to one of the muscular cavities of the heart, specifically the left ventricle – it can be distinguished from the other chambers of the heart by the highly enlarged myocardium which makes up its walls.

QuestionChoice
This is an axial view of the thoracic cavity contents. The heart and lungs are dissected and the chambers of the heart are visible. The left atrium is the most posterior of all the four heart chambers, and has much thinner walls (with less myocardium) compared to the left ventricle – it can be distinguished from the other chambers of the heart by the thick muscular myocardium which makes up its walls.

a
Left ventricle
QuestionChoice
This is an axial view of the thoracic cavity contents. The heart and lungs are dissected and the chambers of the heart are visible. The right forms the right border of the heart and the right pulmonary surface of the heart. It has much thinner walls (with less myocardium) compared to the left ventricle – it can be distinguished from the other chambers of the heart by the highly enlarged myocardium which makes up its walls.
