The image shows an axial view through the thoracic cavity, with the heart and the lungs visible. The pleural cavity represents the fluid-filled space created in between the visceral and the parietal pleurae, surrounding the lungs. In the image, the structure indicated the arrow surrounds the heart, not the lungs. Thus, the arrow indicates a fibrous layer of tissue surrounding the heart – the pericardium.

Pericardium
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view through the thoracic cavity, with the heart and the lungs visible. The left visceral pleural membrane is, indeed, located on the left side as is the structure indicated by the arrow, but rather is closely adherent to the lung parenchyma. Thus, the arrow indicates a fibrous layer of tissue surrounding the heart – the pericardium.

Left visceral pleural membrane
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view through the thoracic cavity, with the heart and the lungs visible. The endocardium represents the innermost layer of the heart, which covers the internal surface of the heart chambers (atria and ventricles). However, the arrow indicates a fibrous layer of tissue surrounding the heart – the pericardium.

Endocardium
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial view through the thoracic cavity, with the heart and the lungs visible. The myocardium represents the muscular layer of the heart forming the walls of the atria and the ventricles. It is the thickest layer of the heart and lies deep to the pericardium. However, the arrow indicates a fibrous layer of tissue surrounding the heart – the pericardium.
