serous membrane
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.
An inflammation of the two layers of the thin, sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. This membrane is called the pericardium, so the term pericarditis means inflammation of the pericardium.
The membranes from superficial to deep are: A sac-like structure called pericardium. It is comprised of two parts - the outer fibrous pericardium and an inner double-layered membrane itself made up of parietal and visceral pericardium.
The membrane lining the interior of the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers - the visceral pleura, which covers the lungs, and the parietal pleura, which lines the chest wall and diaphragm. The pleura helps reduce friction between the lungs and chest wall during breathing.
The pleura cover and protect the lungs in a fetal pig.
The pericardium is made up of two layers: the outer fibrous pericardium, which is tough and protective, and the inner serous pericardium, which is further divided into the parietal layer (lines the fibrous pericardium) and visceral layer (covers the heart). Together, these layers help protect and support the heart.
A double layer of phospholipids makes up the plasma membrane.
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. In humans, it is made up of four chambers and enclosed in a sac called the pericardium.
Phospholipids are the main type of macromolecule that makes up the membrane structure. They form a lipid bilayer that surrounds the cell and controls the movement of molecules in and out of the cell.
