21 Ιουλ 2023 · There are two pleural cavities, one for each lung on the right and left sides of the mediastinum. Each pleural cavity and it’s enclosed lung are lined by a serous membrane called pleura . The right and left pleural cavities are completely independent compartments.
The lung is encased in the thoracic cavity, a rigid structure that provides it with support and protec-tion. The visceral and parietal pleura form the pleura cavity, which lines the lung parenchyma and inner aspect of the chest wall, respectively. The pleura allows the lung to move, with minimal friction, within the thoracic cavity. It also ...
30 Οκτ 2023 · The space between the parietal and visceral pleurae is called the pleural cavity which contains a small amount of serous fluid (pleural fluid). It is important to note that there is no connection between the right and left pleural cavities.
The lines of pleural reflection are formed by the parietal pleura as it changes direction (reflects) from one wall of the pleural cavity to another. The sternal lines of reflection are where the costal parietal pleura becomes continuous with the mediastinal pleura.
The pleura consists of two layers, an inner visceral and an outer parietal layer. Both layers form a closed sac called the pleural cavity, which contains serous fluid. Due to the position of the heart, the left pleural cavity is smaller than the right.
