Explanation:
<u><em>A lubricating liquid in serous cavities</em></u> _______________
<em>You can talk about two types of serous membranes, although in reality it is the same membrane with a different name depending on the position it occupies</em>. Thus, the serosa that covers a cavity in a manner similar to the paint that covers the walls of a room, is called <u>parietal serosa</u>. <em>While the serosa that covers the organs that are in that cavity, is called visceral serosa. </em>
<em>
There are some organs whose serosa receives a specific name, usually due to the importance of its function. These are:
</em>
<u><em>
It covers the surface of the lungs</em></u> ____________________
<u>The pleura</u>, <em>around the lungs.
</em>
<u><em>
Covers the surface of the abdominal organs</em></u> ________________
<u>The peritoneum</u>,<em> which covers the abdominal cavity, enveloping a large part of the digestive organs.
</em>
<u><em>Unite the heart to the body cavity</em></u> _____________________
<u>The pericardium</u>, <em>around the heart.</em>
