|
|
The parietal pleura lines the entire thoracic cavity.
|
|
|
The space between the visceral and parietal pleurae is called the pleural cavity.
|
|
|
The fluid in the pleural cavity lubricates the pleural surfaces, allowing the two surfaces to glide painlessly against each other as the lungs expand and contract.
|
|
|
The visceral pleura covers the surface of the lungs.
|
|
|
The pleural cavity is a space between the two membranes that are normally separated only by a small amount of air.

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: A pleura is a serous membrane which forms a two-layered membrane structure. The outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, via blood vessels, bronchi, and nerves.
Detailed explanation-2: -PLEURAL SPACE The pleural cavity consists of a double-layered membrane lining the inside of the thoracic cavity (parietal pleura) and the outside of the lung surface (visceral pleura). Each pleural membrane consists of a layer of mesothelial cells lined with a brush border of microvilli, and several noncellular layers.
Detailed explanation-3: -The pleura is a serous membrane which folds back onto itself to form a two-layered membrane structure. The thin space is known as the pleural cavity and contains a small amount of pleural fluid (few milliliters in a normal human). The outer pleura is attached to the chest wall (1-9).
Detailed explanation-4: -The pleural cavity is a fluid filled space that surrounds the lungs.
