The pleura is a sac around the lungs. The pericardium is a sac around the heart. They both promote frictionless environments in which the organs can move.
There is no such thing as the pericardial cavity. The visceral pericardium is the outer layer of the heart, and also called the epicardium. The lining on the inside of the pericardium is called the parietal pericardium.
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.
Thickening of the pericardial reflection of pleura refers to an abnormal thickening of the double-layered membrane that surrounds the heart (pericardium) and the lungs (pleura). This can be caused by inflammation, infection, or other underlying conditions. It may lead to symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or a persistent cough. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medications or procedures to relieve symptoms and address the underlying condition.
The types of connective tissue membranes are synovial membranes, serous membranes, and mucous membranes. Synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid, serous membranes line body cavities closed to the outside and secrete serous fluid, and mucous membranes line surfaces open to the exterior and produce mucus.
The visceral pleura is deep to the parietal pleura. The visceral is closer to the lungs.
serous membrane
peritoneum pericardium pleura
The serous membrane lines certain cavities in the body. It makes up the pleura, which lines the chest cavity, and the pericardium, which covers the heart.

There is no such thing as the pericardial cavity. The visceral pericardium is the outer layer of the heart, and also called the epicardium. The lining on the inside of the pericardium is called the parietal pericardium.
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.

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.
the heart is surrounded by the pericardium. There is the visceral pericardium which is closest to the heart organ and the parietal pericardium which is the outer lining. The lungs are surrounded by the pleural membrane. There is the visceral pleura which is located closest to the lung and the parietal pleura which is the outer lining. The heart and lungs are protected from external damage by the ribcage. The sternal bone is one of the hardest bones in the body and this bone protects the heart from damage.
Lungs = Two membranes called pleurae (The outer layer of the pleurae is called the parietal pleura and the inner one is called the visceral pleura) Heart = The pericardium
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.
