The membrane that lies the heart and also forms the valve flaps is the?
This membrane is known as the endocardium. From the inside out, the heart's layers go as so : endocardium, myocardium, epicardium (visceral pericardium), pericardial cavity, and parietal pericarium.
What lies on top of visceral pericardium?
The visceral pericardium, also known as the epicardium, is the innermost layer of the pericardium that directly covers the heart. On top of the visceral pericardium lies the parietal pericardium, which is the outer layer of the pericardial sac. Between these two layers is the pericardial cavity, which contains pericardial fluid that reduces friction during heart movement. Additionally, surrounding the parietal pericardium, there may be fat and connective tissue that provide cushioning and support.
Is visceral pericardium deep to the parietal pericardium?
Yes, the visceral pericardium adheres to the outside surface of the myocardium (heart muscle), while the parietal pericardium lies outside of the visceral pericardium. There is a small amount of lubricating fluid between these two membranes in the potential space known as the pericardial space. If an abnormal amount of fluid of any kind builds up in this space, it is called a pericardial effusion.
What epidermal layer is immediatley adjacent to the dermis?

The layer of serous membrane that covers the heart and lies closest to the sternum is the?
It is called the pericardium.
What region is the pericardial cavity?
The pericardial cavity is located in the thoracic region of the body, specifically between the two layers of the pericardium that surround the heart. It is situated in the mediastinum, which is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity.
Where is the pericardial fluid?
The pericardium (G. around the heart) is a double-walled fibroserous sac that encloses the heart (G. kardia) and the roots of the great vessels.It is located in the middle mediastinum, posterior to the body of the sternum and the 2nd to 6th coastal cartilages, and anterior to T5 to T8 vertebrae.The pericardium consists of two parts: (1) a strong external layer composed of tough fibrous tissue, called the fibrous pericardium, and (2) an internal double-layered sac composed of a transparent membrane called the serous pericardium.
