functions: secretes serous fluid, acts as a lubricant so that the heart can move freely when it beats
most anterior layer of the serous membrane (surrounding the heart): visceral layer: intimate with the heart wall and thus is called the epicardium
posterior layer of serous membrane: called the parietal, is against the fibrous pericardium (the most posterior)
serous pericardium is the parietal and visceral layer
