Answer:
The main key difference between the visceral and parietal pericardium is that -
Visceral pericardium is the inner layer of the serous pericardium and Parietal pericardium is the outer layer of the serous pericardium.
Explanation:
- Visceral pericardium lines the outer layer of the heart’s epicardium and Parietal pericardium lines the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium.
- Visceral pericardium is not connected to the internal surface of the fibrous pericardium but Parietal pericardium does.
- Visceral pericardium outlines the heart while parietal pericardium outlines the visceral pericardium.
