Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle?
visceral 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.
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.
How is the pericardium drained of fluid buildup?
The fluid inside the pericardium is drained by inserting a needle through the chest and into the sac itself.
What is the sling-like structure that supports the heart?
Pericardium Pericardium
Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle?
visceral pericardium
The layer of serous membrane that covers the heart and lies closest to the sternum is the?
It is called the pericardium.
Is the pericardium a cardiac muscle of the heart?
The pericardium is a thin sac that surrounds the heart. it is not part of the heart muscle itself.
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

Where is visceral pericardium found?
Visceral pericardium is a double layered sac that surrounds the heart and associated vessels.
Is the heart directly attached to the pericardium?
Yes, the Pericardium surrounds the Heart.
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)
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.
How is the pericardium drained of fluid buildup?
The fluid inside the pericardium is drained by inserting a needle through the chest and into the sac itself.
Why is the heart surrounded by but not in the pericardial cavity?
The heart is surrounded by the pericardial cavity, which is a fluid-filled space between the heart and the pericardium, a double-layered membrane. This cavity provides a protective buffer, allowing the heart to move freely during contractions while reducing friction. The heart itself is situated within the inner layer of the pericardium, known as the visceral pericardium, but it is not "in" the pericardial cavity since that space is specifically between the heart and the outer layer, the parietal pericardium.
