Thorax 3: Pleura and Lungs Flashcards
What pulmonary covering will sense pain
parietal pleura
Will visceral pleura experience pain
no
What are the two pleural coverings on the lungs
visceral pleura
parietal pleura
What is between the pleura of the lungs
potential space= pleural cavity
What are the different parts of parietal pleura around the lungs
costal
diaphragmatic
mediastinal
Cervical
What is the costal pleura of the lungs innervated by
intercostal nerves
What is the diaphragmatic pleura of the lungs innervated by
central portion: phrenic
peripheral portion: intercostal
What is the mediastinal pleura innervated by
phrenic
What is the pulmonary ligament
thin fold of reflected pleura that extends inferiorly from the root of the lung
What does the pulmonary ligament allow for
accommodates expansion
What is Sibson’s fascia
supra pleural membrane
thickening of the endothoracic fascia that protects the cupola of the lung
What are the different pleural reflections
sternal
costal
vertebral
What are the two pleural recesses
costomediastinal
costodiaphragmatic
What is the costodiaphragmatic recess
diaphragmatic pleura turning back to costal pleura
Where is the costomediastinal recess found
over the heart
what do the pleural recesses contain
fluid accumulation
What space will most likely collect fluid from the lungs
costodiaphramatic recess

visceral 8
parietal 10
What levels will the visceral and parietal pleura be seen in the mid clavicular line
visceral 6
parietal 8
What levels will the visceral and parietal pleura be seen in the scapular line
visceral 10
parietal 12

2
What level will the oblique fissures of the lungs be found
midclavicular: 6th rib
