Which term pertains to organs; or the covering of an organ?

Explanation:
Visceral refers to organs or the covering of an organ. In body cavities, the visceral layer directly coats the organ (for example, visceral peritoneum on abdominal organs, visceral pleura covering the lungs, or visceral pericardium around the heart). The opposite parietal layer lines the cavity itself, not the organ, while internal and external are general terms that don’t specifically describe organ coverings.
