I would think you mean, 'pleura'. That is a dlicate membrane that covers the lungs and chest wall. The visceral pleura is what covers the lungs, the parietal pleura covers the chest wall and diaphram. 'pericardium' is a double-layered sac surrounding the heart and large vessels entering and leaving the heart. 'peritoneum' is a serous membrane that covers the entire abdominal wall and envelops the organs contained in the abdomen.

What serous membrane surrounds the stomach?
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.
Another name for the parietal pericardium?
parietal pericardium is not known by another name
Is serosa also known as the visceral peritoneum?
Yes, serosa is another term for the visceral peritoneum. It is the outermost layer of the peritoneum that covers the organs within the abdominal cavity.
What membrane surrounds lungs heart and organs in the abdomen?
The membrane that surrounds the lungs is called the pleura, which consists of two layers: the visceral pleura (lining the lungs) and the parietal pleura (lining the chest wall). The heart is encased in a membrane known as the pericardium, which also has two layers: the visceral pericardium (attached to the heart) and the parietal pericardium (forming the outer layer). The organs in the abdomen are surrounded by the peritoneum, a membrane that also has visceral and parietal layers, providing support and protecting the abdominal organs.
WhaT one of the major closed body cavities contains connective tissue membranes?
Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
The visceral pericardium is the same as the?
the visceral pericardium is also called the epicardium.
What lies on top of visceral pericardium?
The visceral pericardium, also known as the epicardium, is the innermost layer of the pericardium that directly covers the heart. On top of the visceral pericardium lies the parietal pericardium, which is the outer layer of the pericardial sac. Between these two layers is the pericardial cavity, which contains pericardial fluid that reduces friction during heart movement. Additionally, surrounding the parietal pericardium, there may be fat and connective tissue that provide cushioning and support.
Which layer serves the dual purpose of forming the inner layer of the pericardium and forming the outermost wall of the heart?
The epicardium serves the dual purpose of forming the inner layer of the pericardium and the outermost wall of the heart. It is a thin, transparent layer that covers the surface of the heart and is also known as the visceral layer of the pericardium.
What is excision of pericardium?
Excision of the pericardium, also known as pericardiectomy, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of the pericardium, the fibrous sac surrounding the heart. This procedure is typically performed to treat conditions such as constrictive pericarditis, where the pericardium becomes thickened and restricts heart function. By excising the pericardium, the surgery aims to relieve symptoms and improve the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. It is usually considered when conservative treatments have failed.
What is the membrane that hold the small intestine in place?
The membranes that hold the coils of the small intestines together and also connect them to the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, aka peritoneum, are the messentaries.
What is the outer layer paricadium?
The outer layer of the pericardium is known as the fibrous pericardium. It is a tough, fibrous sac that surrounds the heart and the inner serous pericardium, providing structural support and protection. This layer helps anchor the heart within the mediastinum and prevents over-expansion during heart contractions. It also plays a role in limiting the movement of the heart within the chest cavity.
What is the medical term meaning membrane that covers the heart?
The membrane surrounding the heart is called the pericardium. It is a fluid sac that serves several purposes. One of the purposes of the pericardium is it contains the heart in the chest cavity. The pericardium also prevents the heart from overexpanding when the blood volume in the heart increases.pericardiumPericardiumpericardiumThe serous membrane associated with the heart is called the pericardium. The layer covering the heart is the visceral pericardium and the opposing surface is the parietalpericardium.parietal viscera
