Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Between the layers is the pericardial cavity, a potential space filled with 15-50 milliliters of serous pericardial fluid. Pericardial fluid is secreted by pericardial cells, and it is this fluid that reduces friction between the parietal and visceral layer during heart contractions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fibrous pericardium is the outer layer and holds the heart in place and protect it from surrounding infections. It is composed of thick connective tissue. The serous pericardium has two layers, the visceral and parietal layers.
