Parietal literally means next to a wall. In cell Biology it can refer to things next to the cell wall but in anatomy and medicine it usually means next to the outer wall (usually chest or abdominal). The inner layer, closer to the body organs, is the visceral later.

What membrane is constructed of a visceral and parietal layer?
The pericardium is the membrane that is constructed of a visceral and parietal layer. The visceral layer is in direct contact with the heart, while the parietal layer lines the outer surface of the pericardial sac. This double-layered membrane protects and lubricates the heart.
What is a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum?
The mesentery is a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum that attaches parts of the intestine to the interior abdominal wall.
Is the parietal pericardium lined by fibrous pericardium?
There are three layers to the pericardium. They go in alphabetical order. The first layer is the Fibrous Pericardium. The second layer is the parietal pericardium and the third and innermost layer is the visceral layer.
Which layer of pericardium touches the heart?
Parietal Pericardium
Is the peritoneal cavity the space between the parietal layer and the visceral layer of the peritoneum?
True
What membrane has parietal and visceral layer?
The serous membrane has parietal and visceral layers. The parietal layer lines the body cavity, while the visceral layer surrounds and covers internal organs. This double-layered structure reduces friction as organs move within the body.
What is the outer layer superficial to the pericardial cavity?
Parietal pericaridium
What is the most superficial layer surrounding the heart?
parietal pericardium
Is the mesentary is a fused double layer of the parietal peritoneum?
Yes.
What is the pleural layer covering the thorax walls?
Parietal Pleura
What is the the innermost layer of the pleura known as?
Visceral pleura. The parietal pleura surrounds the outside of the lung. When you are dissecting, the parietal pleura is the layer of lung that you remove. It is difficult to remove the visceral pleura, but not impossible.
The outer layer of a serous membrane?
The outer layer of a serous membrane is called the parietal layer. It lines body cavities and provides a barrier against friction and helps with organ movement within the cavity.
