Which membrane has parietal and visceral layers?
serous pericardium.
Is the parietal pericardium lined by fibrous pericardium?
There are three layers to the pericardium. They go in alphabetical order. The first layer is the Fibrous Pericardium. The second layer is the parietal pericardium and the third and innermost layer is the visceral layer.
What are the layers of tissue that make up the pericardium?
Fibrous pericardium and serous pericardium. The serous pericardium is made up of an outer parietal layer that is fused to the fibrous pericardium and an inner visceral layer (aka epicardium) that is a layer of the heart wall and adheres tightly to the heart.
Is the parietal pericardium attached to the surface of the heart?
No, visceral pericardium attached to the surface of the heart. The parietal pericardium attached to the wall.
Which layer of pericardium touches the heart?
Parietal Pericardium
What cavity is the parietal pericardium found in?
Since the parietal pericardium is right outside the Pericardial cavity, then I believe you can simply say the parietal pericardium itself is located in the mediastinum in the thoracic cavity.
Is parietal pericardium is attached to the surface of the heart?
No, visceral pericardium attached to the surface of the heart. The parietal pericardium attached to the wall.
What is the layer of tissue or skin that encompasses the entire heart?
the heart muscle is enclosed by the 3 layers of tissue.the closest to the heart is the visceral layer of serous pericardium then parietal layer of serous pericardium and then the fibrous pericardium
Another name for the parietal pericardium?

Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle?
visceral pericardium
Describe the position and attachments of the parietal pericardium of the heart of the cat?
Parietal pericardium doesn't actually touch the heart. If you imagine the pericardium is like a balloon filled with water, which cradles the heart, the surface or membrane touching it is called the 'visceral pericardium'. whilst the membrane that isn't touching it is called the 'parietal pericardium'. The parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium are continuous with each other meaning there is no distinct point that tells you where one starts and the other ends
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.
