parietal pleura

This part of the parietal pleura is innervated by the intercostal nerves.

This involves mechanically irritating the parietal pleura, often with a rough pad.

Miller and Texidor suggested that the pain may originate in the parietal pleura of the lungs.

The outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall.

More than 50% of people affected with asbestosis develop plaques in the parietal pleura, the space between the chest wall and lungs.

The parietal pleura receives its blood supply from the intercostal arteries, which is the same as the overlying body wall.

It is almost completely without function, but it separates the thoracic cage from the parietal pleura.

Moreover, surgical removal of parietal pleura is an effective way of achieving stable pleurodesis.

This enables them to control the contraction of muscles, as well as provide specific sensory information regarding the skin and parietal pleura.

Normally the space between the two layers of the lung, the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura, cannot be seen.

It is an extension of the endothoracic fascia that exists between the parietal pleura and the thoracic cage.

The most likely explanation is that asbestos fibres reach the parietal pleura by passage through lymphatic channels where they excite an inflammatory reaction.

Rib fractures may tear the parietal pleura, the membrane lining the inside of chest wall, allowing air to escape into the subcutaneous tissues.

Generally the parietal pleura is involved, but the lung itself, the visceral layer, the diaphragm, and more rarely the tracheobronchial tree may also be afflicted.

Parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall, covers the superior surface of the diaphragm and separates the pleural cavity from the mediastinum.

The parietal pleura lies against the rib cage, and the visceral pleura lies on the surface of the lungs.

A pleural effusion is an accumulation of an abnormal amount of fluid between the visceral and parietal pleura of the chest.

The parietal pleura is attached to the wall of the thoracic cavity and innervated by the intercostal nerves and phrenic nerve.

The parietal pleura is highly sensitive to pain, while the visceral pleura is not, due to its lack of sensory innervation.

At this location, tumors may invade the parietal pleura, chest wall, brachial plexus, subclavian vessels, stellate ganglion, and adjacent vertebral bodies.

The hilum represents the point where the parietal pleura (covering the rib cage) and the visceral pleura (covering the lung) connect.

The costal portion of the parietal pleura lines the inner aspect of the ribs and intervening intercostal muscles, being separated from them by endothoracic fascia.

The visceral pleura is attached directly to the lungs, as opposed to the parietal pleura, which is attached to the opposing thoracic cavity.

The parietal pleura surrounding the root of the lung extends downward beyond the root of the lung as a fold called pulmonary ligament.

Stage I: Disease confined within the capsule of the parietal pleura (i.e., ipsilateral pleura, lung, pericardium, and diaphragm).
