The pulmonary cavity is the space lined by parietal pleura that each lung occupies. The right and left pulmonary cavities are separated by the mediastinum. It is important to not confuse the pleural cavity with the pulmonary cavity. The pleural cavity is the potential space between the parietal and visceral pleura containing a small amount of serous fluid that surrounds each lung.
