What else can I help you with?
What are the factors for holding the lungs to the thorax wall?
Surface tension from pleural fluid, positive pressure, and atmospheric pressure on the thorax.
Which of the choices below describes the forces that act to pull the lungs away from the thorax wall and thus collapse the lungs?
the natural tendency for the lungs to recoil and the surface tension of the alveolar fluid
What reduces the friction between the lungs and the walls of the thorax?
The pleural fluid reduces the friction between the lungs and the walls of the thorax by lubricating the pleural surfaces. This fluid allows the lungs to move smoothly during respiration without causing friction or resistance.
The watery fluid that lubricates the membranes forming the inner lining of the thorax is called?
The watery fluid that lubricates the membranes forming the inner lining of the thorax is called pleural fluid. It helps decrease friction between the layers of the pleura to facilitate smooth movement of the lungs during breathing.
Does a fluid pill take fluid off lungs?
Yes. A dieuretic will remove water from all over the body and will help remove water from the lungs.
How do the two lungs work together?
Your lungs are placed in the thorax. Your thorax or chest expand and contract. So that your lungs get and gives air. This happens simultaneously. So the lungs work together.
What natural remedies remove fluid from the lungs?
water and oxygen
What area does your thorax protect?
heart and lungs
What organs does the thorax contain?
Heart and lungs
Function of the pleura?
This serosa covers the thorax cavity, the heart, and the lungs. It gives the lungs a libricant, allowing them to move easily over the thorax wall.
Where is the location of the heart in the thorax?
Mediastrium between the lungs
Pleural layer running the walls of the thorax?
The pleural layer is a thin membrane that lines the walls of the thorax and covers the lungs. It consists of two layers - the parietal pleura (lining the chest wall) and the visceral pleura (covering the lungs). The space between these layers is the pleural cavity, which contains a small amount of fluid to reduce friction during breathing.
