[b] The parietal pleura lines the interior of the chest wall and upper surface of the diaphragm. Pericardium is a two layered sac consisting of outer parietal pericardium and inner visceral pericardium attached to the heart. The pericardium protects the heart from shocks and mechanical injuries and also allows free movement of the heart.
