Viscera denotes the organs in the body cavities. (The heart confined in the Pericardial cavity, the lungs in the Pleural cavity, and the abdominal organs in the Peritoneal cavity). Visceral membrane (visceral serosa) covers those organs. More info could be find on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serosa
