Each lung is invested by an exceedingly delicate serous membrane, the pleura, which is arranged in the form of a closed invaginated sac. A portion of the serous membrane covers the surface of the lung and dips into the fissures between its lobes; it is called the pulmonary pleura (or visceral pleura).

What is the function of the pleura membrane in a pig?
The pleural cavity (with an outside pleural membrane) surrounds both the pleural and pericardial cavities. The fetal pig tissues are thin and easily cut. The parietal pleura is a serous membrane which surrounds the lungs. It is like a thin film, and can be somewhat difficult to remove and isolate. The parietal pleura is on the thoracic cavity wall.
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 membrane lines the inside of the chest cavity?
Squamous. See Related Links.
What is the double folded membrane that surrounds the lungs?
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.
What is the space between the breast called?
The pleural cavity is the space between the pleura surrounding the lungs. The pleura is defined as the double folded membrane surrounding 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.
What is the double-layered membrane surrounding each lung?
Pleura is a double layered membrane surrounding each lung.
What is the membrane that lines the surface of the lungs?
the membrane on the surface of the lung is called the parietal pleura, but the membrance that lines the lungs themselves are called the visceral pleura.

serous
The serous membrane on the lung surface is called the what?
Pleural Cavity is the body cavity that surrounds the right and left lung. The pleura is a serous membrane which folds back to form a two-layered, membrane structure. The thin space between the two pleural layers is known as the pleural cavity; it normally contains a small amount of pleural fluid. The outer pleura parietal pleura is attached to the chest wall. The inner pleura, visceral pleura covers the lungs and adjoining structures.
What makes up the pleura and pericardium.?
serous membrane
