Question

What is the function of pericardial fluid? Where is it found?

Open in App
Solution

Pericardial fluid helps reduce friction between the epicardial membranes of the heart, thereby helping the membranes to glide over each other during each heartbeat. It is found in the pericardial cavity (where it is secreted by the serous layer of the pericardium).
