2025年1月23日 · The pleura is a thin watery membrane that covers and cushions the lungs. Learn about its functions and the infections, injuries, and diseases that can affect it.

2024年7月22日 · Your pleura is a thin membrane that lines your chest wall and lungs. It cushions your lungs and makes breathing easier. Infections and chest injuries can damage your pleura and affect your ability to breathe.

Explore the anatomy and vital role of the lungs with Innerbody's interactive 3D model. The human lungs are a pair of large, spongy organs optimized for gas exchange between our blood and the air. Our bodies require oxygen in order to survive.

2024年3月24日 · With the addition of pleural fluid, the lung pleura allows for easy movement of the lungs and inflation during breathing. A pleura is a serous membrane that folds back on itself to form a two-layered membranous pleural sac.

2023年11月21日 · The pleura is a serous membrane that envelopes each lung. The membrane is made up of a visceral layer that is adherent to the lung, and a parietal layer that is fixed to the inner thoracic wall, lower cervical vertebra, costovertebral area, mediastinum, and diaphragm.

2020年5月25日 · There are two pleurae in the body: one associated with each lung. They consist of a serous membrane – a layer of simple squamous cells supported by connective tissue. This simple squamous epithelial layer is also known as the mesothelium. Each pleura can be divided into two parts: Visceral pleura – covers the lungs.

Although wrapped onto itself resulting in an apparent double layer, each lung is surrounded by a single, continuous pleural membrane. The portion of the pleura that covers the surface of each lung is often called the visceral pleura. This can lead to some confusion, as the lung is not the only visceral organ covered by the pleura.

2023年5月1日 · The lungs are a pair of primary organs of respiration, present in the thoracic cavity beside the mediastinum. They are covered by a thin double-layered serous membrane called the pleura. The respiratory system consists of two components, the conducting portion, and the respiratory portion.

2023年10月30日 · The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane that covers each lung and lines the thoracic cage. The outer layer (parietal pleura) attaches to the chest wall. The inner layer (visceral pleura) covers the lungs, neurovascular structures of the mediastinum and the bronchi.

2025年1月27日 · The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. It provides a protective covering for the lungs and facilitates smooth respiratory movements.
