A bullet enters the left side of a male passes through left lung lodges the heart what is the order the serous membrane and their cavities through which the bullet passes?

pparietal pleura, visceral pleura, parietal pleura, parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium


What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?

The serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum produces a fluid that helps to reduce friction between organs during movement.


Pleura are examples of which type of membrane?

Pleura are examples of serous membranes, which are thin membranes that line body cavities not directly open to the outside of the body. They consist of two layers - parietal (lining the cavity walls) and visceral (covering the organs).


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 type of membrane contains fluid between the visceral and perIetal layers?

The visceral and parietal layers are belong to a type of epithelial membrane called serous membranes. Serous fluid is a fluid between the two layers that helps them slide past each other without causing friction.

The parietal pleural represents a serous membrane?

The parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, as well as facilitate their movement during breathing. It also produces a fluid that helps reduce friction during lung movements.

What epithelial membrane lines the closed ventral cavities of the body?

The serous membrane, specifically the parietal serosa, lines the closed ventral cavities of the body. Examples include the pleura in the thoracic cavity and the peritoneum in the abdominal cavity.

What is the function of the pleura membrane in a pig?

The pleural cavity (with an outside pleural membrane) surrounds both the pleural and pericardial cavities. The fetal pig tissues are thin and easily cut. The parietal pleura is a serous membrane which surrounds the lungs. It is like a thin film, and can be somewhat difficult to remove and isolate. The parietal pleura is on the thoracic cavity wall.


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 is serous membrane associated with the lungs?

The outer layer of a serous membrane is called the parietal layer and is always attached to the surrounding tissues. The inner layer is called the visceral layer and is firmly attached to the organ it covers
