Does the mediastinum contain the pericardial cavity?
Yes
What is the pleural chest cavity?
The lungs
What serous membrane covers the surface of the abdominal organs?
Viscera denotes the organs in the body cavities. (The heart confined in the Pericardial cavity, the lungs in the Pleural cavity, and the abdominal organs in the Peritoneal cavity). Visceral membrane (visceral serosa) covers those organs.
What is parietal and visceral?

But, the pericardium is actually TRIPLE layered: the visceral layer, the parietal layer, and the fibrous layer (fibrosa).The visceral pericardium is the inner-most layer of the pericardium, and is also known as the Epicardium as it "lays" upon the heart.The Pericardial Cavity lies between the visceral pericardium and the parietal pericardium. This cavity is filled with pericardial fluid which serves as a shock absorber by reducing friction between the visceral and parietal layers. The parietal pericardium is an outer layering wall of the Pericardial Cavity between the pericardial membranes.The outer-most layer is the fibrous layer (fibrosa), and contains nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. This is the layer that can become inflamed, called pericarditis. (As opposed to, endocarditis, which is inflammation of the insidelayer of the heart.)
Does parietal pleura line the ethoracic wall?
There is no such thing as the pericardial cavity. The visceral pericardium is the outer layer of the heart, and also called the epicardium. The lining on the inside of the pericardium is called the parietal pericardium.
What is the space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membrane?
Pericardial cavity
What cavity houses the lungs?
The thoracic cavity is the anatomical region with the lungs being situated inside the right and left pleural cavities that flank the pericardial cavity .
What organs are found in the fetal pig's pericardial cavity?
A fetal pig's pericardial cavity is actually located in the heart. In living animals, the pericardial cavity is filled with fluid that acts as a shock absorber to protect the heart from injury.
What cavity does the pericardium line?
The pericardial cavity. Try the chest, or thoracic cavity.
Pericardial membrane encloses what within the pericardial cavity?
Encloses cardiac space.
What is the potential space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membranes?
Pericardial cavity
What is the space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium?
The pericardial sac.
What does the pericardium line?
pericardial cavity
What is the heart covered with?
fibrous pericardium (tough, dense Connective tissue), parietal pericardium (pericardial cavity) , visceral pericardium (pericardial cavity)
Is the heart in the dorsal pericardial cavity?
Not comPletely
Does the mediastinum contain the pericardial cavity?
Yes
What are the systems and its organs in the pericardial cavity?
The heart is located in the pericardial and belongs to the cardiovasular system.
