Pleurisy, or pleuritis, is inflammation of the lining of the lungs (the pleura) that leads to chest pain (usually sharp) when a breath is taken.Pleurisy
Pleurisy is inflammation of the lining of the lungs.
The membrane lining on the lung is the visceral pleura and the membrane lining the inside of the chest cavity is the parietal pleura.
The thin sac-like covering that protects and cushions the lungs is called the pleura. The word pleurisy is a broad term used for a variety of disorders that may occur to the pleura and usually refers to inflammation, pain, and shortness of breath.
No. Pleurisy a condition where you get sharp chest pains, usually limited to a relatively small area of the chest, that is worse when you take a deep breath. It is thought to usually arise from inflammation of the lining of the lung (aka the pleura). Tuberculosis is a specific infection that commonly affects the lung (although it can spread elsewhere). Tuberculosis is one of many causes of pleurisy.
pain of the pleura (chest wall)
The parietal pleura is in the thoracic cavity, lining the inner chest wall atop the diaphragm.
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
Pleuropericardial adhesions are fibrous bands that form between the pleura (lining of the lungs) and the pericardium (lining of the heart). They can occur as a result of inflammation, infection, surgery, or trauma. These adhesions can limit the movement of the heart and lungs, potentially leading to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or cardiac complications.
