Is the visceral pleura superficial to the parietal pleura?
The visceral pleura is deep to the parietal pleura. The visceral is closer to the lungs.
What connection between alveolus and visceral pleura?
The aveoli are microscopic pockets in the lung where gas exchange occurs. The visceral pleura is a membrane that covers the entire lung. There is no connection except that they both involve the anatomy of the lung.
The innermost layer of the pleura is know as the?
Visceral Pleura
Where is lubricating fluid secreted by the pleura located?
Between the parietal and visceral pleura.
Where is the visceral pleura?
The visceral pleura, adheres closely to the subjacent alveoli of the lung.
Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
Visceral pleura
How is gas exchanged by killer whales?
blubber.
What occurs during the process of gas exchanged?
=== === === === === === === ===
What pressure is the gas pressure between the visceral and parietal pleurae?
Lungs are totally elastic organs. They are kept in position by negative pressure in visceral and parietal pleura. There is no gas in cavity between both pleura. In fact both pleura are part of one one collapsed balloon. Very small amount of fluid in cavity between pleura keeps it lubricating. If air accidentally enters there, then there is a condition called as Pneumothorax. There is also a condition called as Tension Pneumothorax. Which is an emergency.
Is the visceral pleura superficial to the parietal pleura?
The visceral pleura is deep to the parietal pleura. The visceral is closer to the lungs.
What is the membrane covering the lung and chest cavity?
The membrane lining on the lung is the visceral pleura and the membrane lining the inside of the chest cavity is the parietal pleura.
Which gas law explains why there is much carbon dioxide exchanged between alveoli as there is oxygen exchanged?
diffusion
What gas is exchanged into helium in a stars nuclear reactions?
Hydrogen
What is the innermost layer of the pleura known as?
Visceral pleura. The parietal pleura surrounds the outside of the lung. When you are dissecting, the parietal pleura is the layer of lung that you remove. It is difficult to remove the visceral pleura, but not impossible.

Which system does pleura go?
The pleura are part of the respiratory system. The pleura are the membranous coverings of each lung.
