What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?
The pleura is the serous membrane of the thoracic cavity.
What is an example of serous membrane?
the peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium
Where are serous membrane located?
peritoneum pericardium pleura
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.
What happens if the pleura secretes a deficient amount of serous fluid?
If the pleura does not secrete enough fluid friction can occur between the corresponding linings (visceral and peritoneum) causing damage to the organ
What are the types of connective tissue membranes?
There are 3 types: Pleura, Perioneum, and Pericardium
The parietal pleural represents a serous membrane?
yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane. So is the visceral pleura for that matter, and the peritoneum as well.
What is the difference in parietal and visceral peritoneum?
The difference between these two pleura is that the parietal pleura is the outtermost covering of the lung which is adhered to the inner thoracic wall, while the visceral pleura is the lining which is directly adhered to the lung itself. The space between these two pleuras is know as the pleual cavity.
WhaT one of the major closed body cavities contains connective tissue membranes?
Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
What is the pleurae pericardium and peritoneum also known as?
I would think you mean, 'pleura'. That is a dlicate membrane that covers the lungs and chest wall. The visceral pleura is what covers the lungs, the parietal pleura covers the chest wall and diaphram. 'pericardium' is a double-layered sac surrounding the heart and large vessels entering and leaving the heart. 'peritoneum' is a serous membrane that covers the entire abdominal wall and envelops the organs contained in the abdomen.
What comprises the mesothelium?
The mesothelium is comprised of several regions, including the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), the chest cavity (pleura), and pericardium (heart).
What is the membrane that lines the body's cavity?
The peritoneal cavity is just space which the abdominal organs occupy. So basically the membrane would be called the peritoneal membrane or shortly known as the peritonuem hope this helps ^_^
