In physiology, intrapleural pressure refers to the pressure within the pleural cavity. Normally, the pressure within the pleural cavity is slightly less than the atmospheric pressure, which is known as negative pressure. [1]
Pleural pressure, or Ppl, is the pressure surrounding the lung, within the pleural space. During quiet breathing, the pleural pressure is negative; that is, it is below atmospheric pressure. The pleura is a thin membrane which invests the lungs and lines the walls of the thoracic cavity.
27 Σεπ 2019 · Pleural pressure is usually negative, due to the recoil of the chest wall, the recoil of the lungs, and the negative pressure exerted by the lymphatic system, The vertical pleural pressure gradient is the difference between the apical and basal pleural cavity pressures.
At functional residual capacity (FRC) the pleural pressure is approximately –6 cm H 2 O. The negative intrapleural pressure is created by the elastic recoil force of the lung opposed to the tendency of the chest wall to expand.
23 Αυγ 2021 · Intrapleural pressure (P Pl) Intrapleural pressure is the pressure in the space between the visceral and parietal pleura, or (physiologically) between the lungs and the chest wall. Usually negative , typically -5cmH 2 O at rest
The pleura (derived from the Greek word for side) is a membrane of fibrous tissue containing a single layer of mesothelium. It aligns the interior of the thoracic cavity and is arranged into 2 layers, parietal and visceral, that are continuous at the hilum of the lung via the pulmonary ligament.
24 Ιουλ 2023 · The pleural cavity also maintains a negative intrapleural pressure, which resists the lungs’ natural tendency to collapse and facilitates proper function during respiration. Within the thoracic cavity, the lungs are separated from the thoracic wall by the visceral and parietal pleurae.
