What is the difference between pericardial pleural and peritoneal varieties?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
pleural membranes are separated from parietal by a thin film of watery fluid and usually cover an internal organ like lungs.
pericardial membranes surround the heart
peritioneal membranes line the abdominopelvic cavity
So basically, the only difference is what each variety membrane surrounds or covers.

What is the difference between pericardial edema and pericardial effusion?
There is none... we just have extra terms to make Med-surg tests more difficult. :)
What is the space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membrane?
Pericardial cavity
What is the potential space between the parietal and visceral pericardial membranes?
Pericardial cavity
What is the space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium?
The pericardial sac.
What region is the pericardial cavity?
The pericardial space lies between the pericardium and the epicardium.
Space between the epicardium and the parietal pericardium?
pericardial cavity
What prevents friction between the layer of the pericardium?
pericardial fluid
What is another name for the peritoneal cavity?
I don't think there is another name for the peritoneal cavity. the peritoneal cavity is specifically for the potential space between the parietal and visceral portions of the peritoneum. hope this helps ^_^
What is thename of the fluid between the outer layer and middle layer of the heart called?
Between the parietal and visceral layers is the pericardial cavity which contains serous fluid--pericardial fluid.The fluid reduces friction between the pericardial membranes when the heart moves within them.
What is the pericardial space and where is it located?
The pericardial space is located in between the parietal and visceral pericardium, contains 10-20 ml of fluid to cushion and protect the heart.
Surface of the heart?
The pericardial fluid acts as a lubricant and reduces friction between the opposing surfaces as the heart beats (contacts). The pericardial fluid is secreted by the pericardial membranes.
