Question 18

Potential space between visceral and parietal pleura

Answer 18

Question 19

Capillary layer of serous fluids in pleural cavity is produced by?

Answer 19

Mesothelium

Question 20

What is the effect of excess air entering the pleural cavity

Answer 20

Surface tension adhering visceral and parietal pleura is broken, and lung collapses due to elastic recoil

Hemothorax

Question 23

Fluid in the pleural cavity

Answer 23

Hydrothorax

Question 24

What is the effect of a tumor in the pleural cavity

Answer 24

It secretes more fluid than it can absorb, and the fluid is retained in the cavity.
