Pericardium |
| |
Pericardium
refers to the tissues surrounding the heart. Structurally it is a
membrane surrounding the heart, and physiologically it protects the
heart. When exogenous pathogens invade the heart, the pericardium
is always the first to be attacked. For example, invasion of the pericardium
by pathogenic heat gives rise to symptoms of mental disturbances such
as coma and delirium, presents the same manifestations as those of
the heart. Therefore, the pericardium is not generally viewed as an
independent organ, but as an attachment to the heart. The pericardium
meridian communicates with the triple burner; the two have an exterior
and interior relationship. |

| |
心包絡簡稱心包，指心臟外的包膜組織，具有保護功能。心包能通氣血，為心之屏障，病邪侵犯心臟時，會先傷害心包。如外感溫熱病邪侵犯，引起神智不清、昏迷等症狀，與心臟病証相同，中醫稱之為"熱入心包"、"痰蒙心竅"。一般認為心包不是一個獨立的器官，而是附屬於心臟。心包的經絡與手少陽三焦經相連，所以心包與三焦為表裏關係。
