this answer is pleural cavity
What else can I help you with?
What is the thin fluid filled space also known as the pleural space?
The thin fluid-filled space in the chest between the two pleural layers is called the pleural cavity. This space helps the lungs expand and contract during breathing by reducing friction between the layers of the pleura.
The potential space between the pleural membrane is called the?
The potential space between the pleural membranes is called the thoracic cavity. This is also known as the pleural cavity in some instances.
What organ are in the pleural?
The pleural cavity, also known as the thoracic cavity, is where the lungs and the heart are located.
What is Thoracentesis also known as?
It is also called a pleural fluid tap
What is a plural in medical terms?
I am not sure if you're referring to 'pleural', which refers to the lining between the lungs and the muscles of the thorax. The pleural space is the space around the lungs within the cavity of the thorax and it contains pleural fluid, which helps reduce friction of breathing as well as other things. A person can also have a pleural effusion or pleurisy, which are both conditions affecting that space.
What is the other name of thoracentesis?
Pleural tap is also known as thorcentesis.
What does the pleural cavity do for the human body?
The pleural cavity is the space between the two layers of the pleura (membrane that surrounds the lungs) and helps to protect the lungs by reducing friction during breathing movements. It also allows the lungs to expand and contract easily as we breathe.
What organ is located in the pleural cavity?
The pleural cavity, also known as the thoracic cavity, is where the lungs and the heart are located.
What is the medical term meaning localized area of pus formation in the lungs?
Empyema means the collection of pus within a body cavity but when you are talking about the pleural cavity it is another word, pyothorax. Pyothorax is the correct term to use when you are talking about the accumulation of pus in the pleural cavity.The term pleurisy (pleuritis) is inflammation or infection in the pleural space around the lungs.Pyothorax also known as empyema of the pleural cavity is the presence of pus in the pleural cavity between the layers of the pleural membrane Py/o - Pus
What does repiration occur in?
The mitochondria (pleural), or mitochondrion (s) perform cellular respiration, also known as oxidative phosphorylation.
Why does not blood clot in pleural fluid?
Hemorrhage within the pleural space generally does not clot due to mechanical defibrination and activation of fibrinolytic mechanisms. Clotting also is impaired by the disappearance of platelets within eight hours following hemorrhage (Source - 29th World Congress of the WSAVA; Study about Pleural Effusions).
What organelle does repiration occur in?
The mitochondria (pleural), or mitochondrion (s) perform cellular respiration, also known as oxidative phosphorylation.
