The visceral segment of the serous membranes encases the internal organs while the parietal segment is responsible for lining the body wall. Serous membranes which care for the needs of the lungs are known as pleurae while the serous membranes which care for the abdominal cavity are known as peritoneum, but are also referred to as peritoneal membranes.
