The 2 pleural membranes?
The two pleural membranes are the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura. The visceral pleura is the innermost layer that covers the surface of the lungs, while the parietal pleura lines the chest cavity. These membranes create a fluid-filled space called the pleural cavity, which helps to reduce friction and allows for smooth movement of the lungs during breathing.
Identify two body cavities found in the fetal pig?
The two largest body cavities are the thoracic and abdominal cavities.
What does the visceral pleura line?
The pleura space prevent the lungs from getting collapsed. The lungs are totally elastic organs and will collapse to very small ball, if air enters the pleura. You have little fluid and negative pressure in the pleura, to keep the lungs in expanded condition.
Can a septum divide more than two cavities?
Yes.
What is a a dividing wall of two cavities?
Parietal
What is between the visceral pleura and parietal pleura?
The difference between these two pleura is that the parietal pleura is the outtermost covering of the lung which is adhered to the inner thoracic wall, while the visceral pleura is the lining which is directly adhered to the lung itself. The space between these two pleuras is know as the pleual cavity.
What is a membrane consisting of two layers which are kept moist and allow surfaces to slide smoothly over each other during the act of breathing in the respiratory system?
PLEURAEach lung is enclosed in a serous pleural sac consisting two continuous membrane called visceral and parietal pleura. The two layers are continuous with each other around the hilum of the lung and enclose a potential space between them known as the pleural cavity. The pleura are lined by mesothelium. The visceral pleura invest all the surfaces of the lung forming their shiny outer surface and the parietal pleura lines the pulmonary cavities. The pleural cavity contains a layer of serous pleural fluid, which lubricates the pleural surfaces and allows the layers of pleura to slide smoothly over each other during respiration. Its surface tension also provides the cohesion that keeps the lung surface in contact with the thoracic wall.The visceral pleura or pulmonary pleura closely covers the lung and is adherent to all its surfaces, including the surfaces within the horizontal and oblique fissures. The visceral pleura dip into the lung fissures so that the lobes of the lung are also covered with it. The visceral pleura are continuous with the parietal pleura at the hilum of the lung.The parietal pleura line the pulmonary cavities. The parietal pleura consists of four parts1. Costal pleura- covers the internal surfaces of the thoracic wall.( ribs and intercostals spaces)2. Mediastinal pleura- covers the lateral aspects of the mediastinum.3. Diaphragmatic pleura- covers the superior or thoracic surface of the diaphragm on each side of the mediastinum4. Cervical pleura (pleural cupula or dome of pleura)- extends from the superior thoracic aperture into the root of the neck, forming a cup shaped pleural dome over the apex of the lung.The pleural cavity is the potential space between the layers of pleura and contains a capillary layer of serous pleural fluid, which lubricates the pleural surfaces and allows the layers of pleura to slide smoothly over each other during respiration.

How is the plural cavity formed?
The pleural cavity is the potential space between the two pleura (visceral and parietal) of the lungs, the intraembryonic coelom is one continuous space. During development this space partitions to form the pericardial, pleural and peritoneal cavities. The diaphragm and the paired pleuropericardial membranes separate the coelomic cavity into four parts. From the splanchnopleura (the visceral mesodermal layer) develops the Visceral pleura and from the somatopleura (parietal mesodermal layer) develops the parietal pleura.
What two things combined make the gold bow in kid Icarus uprising?

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 are the plueral membranes?
The lungs are surrounded by two membranes, the pleurae. The outer pleura is attached to the chest wall and is known as the Parietal pleura; the inner one is attached to the lung and other visceral tissues and is known as the Visceral pleura. In between the two is a thin space known as the pleural cavity or pleural space. It is filled with pleural fluid, a serous fluid produced by the pleura.
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 are the major body cavities?
ventral and dorsal body cavities are the major two for the body.
