The parietal layer of the serous pericardium adheres to the inner surface of the fibrous pericardium. The parietal layer of the serous pericardium lines the fibrous pericardium, reflects around roots of great vessels, and becomes continuous with the visceral layer. The visceral layer of the serous pericardium is closely adhered to the heart, this layer is also called the epicardium.
