THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -The parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall and superior surface of the diaphragm. It continues around the heart forming the lateral walls of the mediastinum. The pleura extends over the surface of the lungs as the visceral pleura.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cervical part (also called the dome of pleura or pleura cupola) is a dome shaped layer that lines the upper aspect of the thoracic cage. It extends superiorly through the superior thoracic aperture into the root of the neck following the projection of the pleural cavity that lines the apex of the lung.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pleurae are serous membranes that separate the lungs and the wall of the thoracic cavity. The visceral pleura covers the surface of the lungs, and the parietal pleura covers the inside of the thorax, mediastinum, and diaphragm.
