What is the thoracic pleura?
The inner lining of your chest wall against which the lungs lie and move.
What lines the inner wall of the abdominopelvic cavity?
Visceral peritoneum lines the inner surface of the abdominopelvic wall
What is the pleural membrane?
The pleural membrane is a double-layered serous membrane found in the thoracic cavity. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and lines the thoracic wall, and the inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs. The membranes produce lubricating serous fluid that causes them to adhere closely to one another. This holds the lungs to the thoracic wall allowing easier movement during breathing.
What is the finger like structure that covers the inner wall of the small intestine?
villi
What cavity is the parietal pleura found in?
The parietal pleura is in the thoracic cavity, lining the inner chest wall atop the diaphragm.
Where is the parietal pleura found?
The portion of the pleura external to the pulmonary pleura lines the inner surface of the chest wall, covers the diaphragm, and is reflected over the structures occupying the middle of the thorax
Name and describes the two layers of the pleura?
Visceral and parietal visceral- covers the lungs, thin serous membrane parietal- lines the inner chest wall and covers diaphram
What muscles are found in the thoracic wall of the cat and human?

What two muscles are found in the thoracic wall of the cat and human?
The two pectoral muscles found in the thoracic wall of both are the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor.
What membrane holds the lungs to the thoracic wall?
The lung is "held" to the thoracic wall by a vacuum or a "potential" space. The thoracic wall has a thin membrane attached to it called the parietal pleura. The lung also has this membrane attached to it but is called the visceral pleura. The two pleura touch each other and slide against each other but are not attached. There is no space between them in the same way there is no space between the sides of a balloon when you suck out the air. If you are stabbed in the chest, an opening is created and air rushes in the hole. The "potential" space becomes an actual space as the lung collapses (a condition called a pneumothorax).
What muscular wall separates the thoracic and adinomal?
Diaphragm.
Muscular wall separating the abdomimal and thoracic cavities?
Diaphragm
