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


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.
