2; Visceral and the Serous
Membrane that has parietal and visceral layers?
A serous membrane (or serosa)
Name and describes the two layers of the pleura?
Visceral and parietal visceral- covers the lungs, thin serous membrane parietal- lines the inner chest wall and covers diaphram
What is the inner layer of the paricardial sac?
The sac consists of two layers, the parietal (outer) and visceral (inner) layer
Is the visceral pleura superficial to the parietal pleura?
The visceral pleura is deep to the parietal pleura. The visceral is closer to the lungs.
What is the outer layer of the paricardial sac called?
The sac consists of two layers, the parietal (outer) and visceral (inner) layer
What is the layer of serous membrane that is firmly attached to the surface of the lung?
Well there are two layers of membranes that line the interior of the lungs. The outer layer of the lungs is the parietal pleura and is attached to the chest wall. The visceral pleura is the inner of the two layers, and unlike the parietal pleura, the visceral pleura is not sensitive to pain. ~hope this is helpful.
Why dont friction result during movements of the heart and lungs and digestuve organs?
Because every organ has 2 layers of tissue and fluid to prevent friction the inner layer I believe is visceral and the outside is parietal. such as the visceral pericardium and parietal pericardium protect the heart.
What is the Innervation of visceral and parietal pleura?
parietal pleura innervated by intercostal and phrenic nerve while visceral innervated by pulmonary plexus
WHAT is the difference between visceral and parietal serous membrane?
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
What is the space between the parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium normally filled with?
The space between the parietal and visceral layers of the pericardium is called the pericardial cavity and it is filled with a thin layer of fluid called pericardial fluid. The pericardial fluid lubricates the two membranes, allowing them to glide over each other without any friction when the heart beats.
