serous membrane
Well, it is called a serous membrane. Each serous membrane has an additional, more specific, name, depending on its location: These would include:Parietal peritoneumVisceral peritoneumParietal pleuraVisceral pleuraParietal pericardiumVisceral pericardiumEpicardiumMessentaries
serous membrane
peritoneum
The outer layer of a serous membrane is called the parietal layer and is always attached to the surrounding tissues. The inner layer is called the visceral layer and is firmly attached to the organ it covers
tunica albuginea
serous membrane
The visceral membrane is a type of serous membrane, which covers the outer layer of organs (such as the intestines). It secretes small amounts of a serous fluid, which reduces friction between organs and other structures.

serous membrane
The serous membrane contains the epithelial layer and the connective tissue layer. The epithelial layer produces cells that produce lubricating serious fluid. The Connective tissue later houses blood vessels and nerves and serves as the "binding layer" for the serous membrane to adhere to organs and other structures in the body.
epicardium
Because internal organs are called viscera, the portion of the serous membrane that attached to an organ is called the visceral layer.
cell membrane
peritoneum
This is a cell layer of epithelial tissue which is composed of cells which are wider than they are tall. The 'simple' means its one cell layer thick and the 'squamous' means the cells are wider than they are tall. Examples of areas where this type of cell layer include the outer surface of most body organs, the vascular system and the bowmans capsule in the kidney.
