Membrane that has parietal and visceral layers?
A serous membrane (or serosa)
The parietal pleura is an example of a visceral membrane?
False
Is the visceral pericardium a serous membrane?
Yes, each serous membrane forms an inner visceral layer that covers the organs in the cavity. And the visceral pericardium is a serosa membrane associated with the heart.
Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
Visceral pleura
What is the layer of serous membrane that is firmly attached to the surface of the lung?
Well there are two layers of membranes that line the interior of the lungs. The outer layer of the lungs is the parietal pleura and is attached to the chest wall. The visceral pleura is the inner of the two layers, and unlike the parietal pleura, the visceral pleura is not sensitive to pain. ~hope this is helpful.
What is the protective membrane covering of the heart called?
parietal layer
Has parietal and visceral layers?
Parietal membrane is the lining of a body cavity. Visceral membrane is the covering of each organ in a body cavity.
Membrane that has parietal and visceral layers?

False

But, the pericardium is actually TRIPLE layered: the visceral layer, the parietal layer, and the fibrous layer (fibrosa).The visceral pericardium is the inner-most layer of the pericardium, and is also known as the Epicardium as it "lays" upon the heart.The Pericardial Cavity lies between the visceral pericardium and the parietal pericardium. This cavity is filled with pericardial fluid which serves as a shock absorber by reducing friction between the visceral and parietal layers. The parietal pericardium is an outer layering wall of the Pericardial Cavity between the pericardial membranes.The outer-most layer is the fibrous layer (fibrosa), and contains nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. This is the layer that can become inflamed, called pericarditis. (As opposed to, endocarditis, which is inflammation of the insidelayer of the heart.)
What is serous membrane associated with the lungs?
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
WHAT is the difference between visceral and parietal serous membrane?
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
Is the visceral pericardium a serous membrane?
Yes, each serous membrane forms an inner visceral layer that covers the organs in the cavity. And the visceral pericardium is a serosa membrane associated with the heart.
What is the space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membrane?
Pericardial cavity
Which membrane is closest to the heart muscle?
visceral pericardium
Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
Visceral pleura
