It is found in the thorax, separating the lungs from its surrounding structures such as the thoracic cage and intercostal spaces, the mediastinum and the diaphragm. The pleural cavity is bounded by a double layered serous membrane called pleura.

30 Οκτ 2023 · The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane that covers each lung and lines the thoracic cage. The space between the layers is called the pleural cavity, which contains a small amount of fluid that lubricates the pleural surface and allows lung expansion.
25 Μαΐ 2020 · Learn about the structure and function of the pleurae, the serous membranes that line the lungs and thoracic cavity. Find out how they enable respiration, and what are the clinical implications of pneumothorax.
24 Ιουλ 2023 · Within the thoracic cavity, the lungs are separated from the thoracic wall by the visceral and parietal pleurae. Between these two layers exists a potential space called the pleural cavity. It is clinically significant, as pathologic processes can result in fluid accumulations within this space.
24 Μαρ 2024 · The pleural cavity is a space between the visceral and parietal pleura. The space contains a tiny amount of serous fluid, which has two key functions. The serous fluid continuously lubricates the pleural surface and makes it easy for them to slide over each other during lung inflation and deflation.
Learn about the pleural cavity, the potential space between the lungs and the chest wall, and its structure, development, function and fluid. Find out how the pleural cavity is formed during embryogenesis, how it aids breathing, and how it is affected by diseases and conditions.
Learn about the pleura, a thin membrane that covers the lungs and the pulmonary cavity, and its two layers: visceral and parietal. See diagrams, videos and sources of the anatomy of the pleura and its parts.
