Detailed explanation-1: -Mesothelium lines your major body cavities, such as the peritoneum (abdomen cavity), pleura (lung cavity) and pericardium (heart cavity). Mesothelium secretes a lubricant film called serous fluid. Epithelial tissue plays many vital roles in your bodily functions and health.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mesothelium that covers the internal organs is called visceral mesothelium, while one that covers the surrounding body walls is called the parietal mesothelium. The mesothelium that secretes serous fluid as a main function is also known as a serosa.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mesothelium is a simple squamous epithelium in nature and is the monolayered tissue lining the walls of large celomic cavities (peritoneal, pericardial, and pleural) and internal organs housed inside.
Detailed explanation-4: -The mesothelium is the layer of tissues (epithelium) that surrounds the organs of the chest (pleura and pericardium), abdominal cavity (peritoneum and mesentery), and pelvis (including the tunica vaginalis that surrounds the testes).
