parietal covers organs and the visceral lines the walls of body cavities
|
|
|
parietal is on the inside and the visceral is on the outside
|
|
|
parietal releases mucus and the visceral absorbs
|
|
|
parietal lines the walls of body cavities and the visceral covers organs found in body cavities
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Parietal serosa line the body cavities and visceral serosa line the outer part of the organs within the body cavity. Therefore, parietal serous membranes are the outer membranes lining a body cavity and visceral serous membranes are the inner membranes lining a body cavity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Serous Membrane Structure An internal visceral layer surrounds the organs, while a parietal layer forms the walls of the body cavities. The serous membrane generally forms an airtight seal around the body cavity. The mesothelium cells produce glycosaminoglycans and other substances that act as a lubricant.
Detailed explanation-3: -The serous membranes have two layers-parietal and visceral-surrounding a fluid filled space. Serous membranes cover the lungs (pleural serosa), heart (pericardial serosa), and some abdominopelvic organs (peritoneal serosa).
Detailed explanation-4: -[1] The outer layer is the parietal peritoneum, which attaches to the abdominal and pelvic walls. The inner visceral layer wraps around the internal organs located inside the intraperitoneal space. The structures bound by the peritoneal cavity may be intraperitoneal or retroperitoneal.
