What is parietal and visceral?

(1) On February 8, 2012 at 5:57 am Mysandie [0] said:Learning a little Latin helped me to remember:"visceral" refers to inner"pari" = wall"peri" = around"epi" = upon"endo" = inside"myo" = muscleMost people think of the pericardium as just a double-layered, membranous sac (The Pericardial Cavity) that is around the heart. 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.)


What does the pleura membrane cover?
