THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -You have pleura surrounding your lungs and lining the inside of your chest. A small amount of fluid in this area is normal. It helps the lungs move in your chest as you breathe. But cancer and other conditions can cause fluid to build up.

Detailed explanation-2: -The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and attaches to the chest wall. The inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs, blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your pleura is a large, thin sheet of tissue that wraps around the outside of your lungs and lines the inside of your chest cavity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thoracentesis is a procedure to remove fluid or air from around the lungs. A needle is put through the chest wall into the pleural space. The pleural space is the thin gap between the pleura of the lung and of the inner chest wall. The pleura is a double layer of membranes that surrounds the lungs.
