The serous membrane covering the inner surface of the heart is the what?
parietal pericardium
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.
Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle?
visceral pericardium
Which layer of the pericardium is found closest to the heart itself?
Epicardium or inner layer of serous pericardium is the innermost layer of pericardium.
What are the Heart and the lungs are surrounded and protected by?
the heart is surrounded by the pericardium. There is the visceral pericardium which is closest to the heart organ and the parietal pericardium which is the outer lining. The lungs are surrounded by the pleural membrane. There is the visceral pleura which is located closest to the lung and the parietal pleura which is the outer lining. The heart and lungs are protected from external damage by the ribcage. The sternal bone is one of the hardest bones in the body and this bone protects the heart from damage.

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

Protective membrane that protects the heart?
The membrane that protects the heart is called the pericardium. It has two layers: - the visceral pericardium (the inner layer which touches the heart) - the parietal pericardium (the outer layer which touches other organs)

What is the most superficial layer surrounding the heart?
