pleural membranes are separated from parietal by a thin film of watery fluid and usually cover an internal organ like lungs.
pericardial membranes surround the heart
peritioneal membranes line the abdominopelvic cavity
So basically, the only difference is what each variety membrane surrounds or covers.
hemodialysis takes longer than peritoneal dialysis
There is none... we just have extra terms to make Med-surg tests more difficult. :)
Pericardial cavity
Pericardial cavity
The pericardial sac.
The pericardial space lies between the pericardium and the epicardium.
pericardial cavity
pericardial fluid
I don't think there is another name for the peritoneal cavity. the peritoneal cavity is specifically for the potential space between the parietal and visceral portions of the peritoneum. hope this helps ^_^
Between the parietal and visceral layers is the pericardial cavity which contains serous fluid--pericardial fluid.The fluid reduces friction between the pericardial membranes when the heart moves within them.
The pericardial space is located in between the parietal and visceral pericardium, contains 10-20 ml of fluid to cushion and protect the heart.
The pericardial fluid acts as a lubricant and reduces friction between the opposing surfaces as the heart beats (contacts). The pericardial fluid is secreted by the pericardial membranes.
