Covers the surface of the lungs

Covers the surface of the abdominal organs

Explanation:

A lubricating liquid in serous cavities

You can talk about two types of serous membranes, although in reality it is the same membrane with a different name depending on the position it occupies. Thus, the serosa that covers a cavity in a manner similar to the paint that covers the walls of a room, is called parietal serosa. While the serosa that covers the organs that are in that cavity, is called visceral serosa.  

There are some organs whose serosa receives a specific name, usually due to the importance of its function. These are:

It covers the surface of the lungs

The pleura, around the lungs.

Covers the surface of the abdominal organs

The peritoneum, which covers the abdominal cavity, enveloping a large part of the digestive organs.

Unite the heart to the body cavity

The pericardium, around the heart.
