What is pluera?
The term "pleura" refers to a thin membrane that lines the chest cavity and covers the lungs. It has two layers: the visceral pleura (which is in contact with the lungs) and the parietal pleura (which lines the chest cavity). The pleura helps facilitate breathing by providing lubrication and reducing friction between the lungs and chest wall.
What is the region between the lungs?
i think that your lungs would be dried out.
What are the pleural membranes and why are they important for breathing?
The pleural membranes are thin, double-layered membranes that surround the lungs and line the chest cavity. They help create a sealed sac around the lungs, allowing them to expand and contract during breathing without friction. This separation creates a negative pressure within the pleural cavity, which helps in the process of respiration.
What does extensive parenchymal and plueral disease mean?
Tumor is in the lungs and membranes around the lungs.
Spaces in the chest between the lungs?
Mediastinum
What is the pleura space?
The potential space between the lining of the chest cavity (pleura) and the lining that covers the lungs (also called the pleura). These linings are made of serous membranes that secrete serous fluid for lubrication, so there is no friction during breathing when the lungs expand and contract against the chest wall. There is a vacuum maintained in this space that keeps the lungs inflated.
What is the protective layer around the lungs?
The protective layer around the lungs is called the pleura. It is a thin, double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and helps to reduce friction between the lungs and the chest cavity as they expand and contract during breathing.
Space between the lungs in the chest are?
plueral space
What is the name of the cavity between membranes surrounding the lungs?
The pleural cavities.
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.
Where in the human body is the heart?
its in the middle of your chest, between the lungs
Are your lungs in your upper back?
your lungs are just inside your ribcage, from the chest in. there is your heart, stomach, spine, some arm muscles, and big arteries and veins between your lungs and your back skin. there is just the ribcage and a couple big blood vessels between the lungs and the chest.
