The serous pericardium is a double-layered membrane that surrounds the heart and forms part of the pericardial sac. It consists of two distinct layers: the parietal pericardium and the visceral pericardium (also known as the epicardium).

The parietal pericardium is the outer layer, attached to the fibrous pericardium, a tough, inelastic sheath
Between these two layers lies the pericardial cavity, a potential space filled with a small amount of
Dysfunction or injury to the serous pericardium can lead to medical conditions such as pericarditis (inflammation
