The [mucosal] Pleural membrane.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the function of the membrane on the surface of the lung?
The membrane on the surface of the lung, known as the pleura, serves to protect and support the lungs, as well as help them expand and contract during breathing. It also helps reduce friction between the lungs and the chest wall.
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is?
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura attached to the lungs and the parietal pleura lining the thoracic cavity. The pleura produces a small amount of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
What is the layer of serous membrane that is firmly attached to the surface of the lung?
Well there are two layers of membranes that line the interior of the lungs. The outer layer of the lungs is the parietal pleura and is attached to the chest wall. The visceral pleura is the inner of the two layers, and unlike the parietal pleura, the visceral pleura is not sensitive to pain. ~hope this is helpful.
What is the outer boundary of a cheek cell called?
cell surface membrane cell surface membrane
What does pleural surface normal mean?
The pleura is a membrane that surrounds the lungs of mammals. Presumably, the phrase means that the surface of the pleura was found to be normal in an examination.
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.
The innermost layer of the pleura is known as the?
The innermost layer of the pleura is known as the visceral pleura. It is a thin membrane that covers the lungs and attaches to the surface of the lungs.
What is the lining of the lungs?
The parietal pleura.Pleura is the outer covering of LungsThe pleurae are the membranes covering the lungs.The membrane is called the pleura, which is named the parietal pleura for the portion of the membrane covering the inner chest wall and the visceral pleura for the portion of the membrane covering the lung. The potential space between the visceral and parietal pleurae is called the pleural cavity.its called pleural membrane surrounding the lungs n also contain pleural fluid reduces friction during breathing
The membrane that covers the lungs are?
They are called pleura. There are 2 layers, the visceral (nect to the lung) and the parietal (on the outside), with a cavity in between them called the pleural cavity which contains a small amount of fluid. they are thin layers of smooth epithelium. The two layers rub against each other during breathing, the fluid helps to prevent friction.
What are Tiny sacs in the lungs called?
alveoli
What membrane attaches directly to the lungs?
The pleural membrane.
