Which part of the heart encases the heart in a tough outer membrane?
The membrane surrounding the heart is called the pericardium. It is a fluid sac that serves several purposes. One of the purposes of the pericardium is it contains the heart in the chest cavity. The pericardium also prevents the heart from overexpanding when the blood volume in the heart increases.
The pericardium. It is composed of two layers: the fibrous pericardium (the outer layer that is made of tough connective tissue) and the serous pericardium (the inner layer in which serous fluid provides lubrication for the heart to beat with almost no friction).
Yes. Arthropods are characterized by an exoskeleton made mostly from the tough protein chitin, also joint appendages and segmented bodies.
The pericardium is a tough double layered fibroserous sac which covers the heart. The space between the two layers of serous pericardium the pericardial cavity, is filled with serous fluid which protects the heart from any kind of external jerk or shock.
Arthropod have exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is composed of a thin, outer protein layer, the epicuticle, and a thick, inner, chitin–protein layer.
The renal capsule surrounds the kidneys. It is made of a tough connective tissue that also helps to protect them.
Cell Wall
I think it is the cell wall or the cell membrane
Periosteum is a membrane that lines the outer surface of all bones,[1] except at the joints of long bones.
Dural sheath or dura matter
The tough outer covering that lies just outside the cell membrane in a plant cell is called the cell wall. In plant cells, it is usually made up of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin.
The stratum corneum is the tough outer layer of the skin.
The outermost layer of the pericardial membrane is the fibrous pericardium. It is a tough, protective layer that surrounds the heart and helps anchor it in place within the chest cavity.

Endoskeleton
parietal pericardium is not known by another name
The sac consists of two layers, the parietal (outer) and visceral (inner) layer
