The pericardium membrane is shiny and slippery due to its serous layer, which produces a small amount of serous fluid. This fluid reduces friction between the heart and surrounding structures as the heart beats, allowing for smooth movement. The shiny appearance is attributed to the mesothelial cells lining the serous pericardium, which secrete this lubricating fluid. This design helps protect the heart and maintain its efficiency during contractions.
