visceral pleura

Damage to the visceral pleura is experienced as an un-localized ache.

It supplies the Bronchial tree and the visceral pleura.

The lung tissue lies within the same visceral pleura as the lobe in which it occurs.

The visceral pleura receives its blood supply from the bronchial circulation, which is the same as the lungs.

In the lungs, a bleb is a collection of air within the layers of the visceral pleura.

The visceral pleura is derived from mesoderm.

"The visceral pleura shows scattered petechiae along the interlobar fissures" "What is this?"

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

Inflammatory pleuritis causes fusion of the parietal and visceral pleura of the lungs.

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

They anastomose with the branches of the pulmonary arteries, and together, they supply the visceral pleura of the lung in the process.

The restrictive impairment is a result of adhesions of the parietal with the visceral pleura as well as possible diaphragmatic involvement.

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

Intralobar sequestration (ILS) in which the lesion is located within a normal lobe and lacks its own visceral pleura.

The inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, via blood vessels, bronchi and nerves.

Pleural fremitus is a palpable vibration of the wall of the thorax caused by friction between the parietal and visceral pleura of the lungs.

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

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

The pleural cavity is the potential space between the parietal pleura, lining the inner wall of the thoracic cage, and the visceral pleura lining the lungs.

On each side of the cavity, a pleural membrane covers the surface of lung (visceral pleura) and also lines the inside of the chest wall (parietal pleura).

Rounded atelectasis (also known as Blesovsky's or folded lung syndrome) develops from infolding of thickened visceral pleura with collapse of the intervening lung parenchyma.

Ectopic endometrial tissue reaches the pleural space of the lung or the right hemi-diaphragmatic region and erodes the visceral pleura, causing the formation of a spontaneous pneumothorax.

The visceral pleura is innervated by the pulmonary plexus, and the parietal pleura is innervated by the intercostal and phrenic nerves.

Chemical sclerosants may be administered through a chest tube to create inflammation and subsequent fusion of the parietal and visceral pleura so that fluid cannot reaccumulate in this potential space.

Unlike the nerves from the autonomic nervous system that innervate the visceral pleura of the thoracic cavity, the intercostal nerves arise from the somatic nervous system.
