Pleurae Serou s m e mbran e s t hat l in e l u n gs & t ho r ac i c ca v i t y P e rmi t s eff i cient & eff o r t l e s s respira t i o n Structur e o f Pleurae 2 pleurae in body – one covering each lung They consist of a serous membrane – this is a layer of mesothelial cells , s u pporte d b y connec t i v e t issue Each pleura can be divided into 2 parts : Viscer a l pleu r a – co v ers l u n gs . Parietal pleura – covers internal surface of thoracic cavity . These 2 parts are continuous with each other at hilum of each lung There is a potential space between the viscera and parietal pleura, known a s p l e u ral ca v i t y
Diaphragm
Parietal Pleura It covers internal surface of thoracic cavity Thicker than visceral pleura & subdivided according to part of body that it is contact with: 1. Me d ia s ti n a l ple u r a – Cov ers l at e r a l aspec t o f medi a s t in u m 2. Cervical pleura – Lines extension of pleural cavity into neck 3. Costal pleura – Covers inner aspect of ribs, costal cartilages , & in t ercos t a l m u sc l e s . 4. Diap h r a gmat ic pleu r a – Co v ers t ho r ac i c ( s u pe r i o r ) s u r f ac e of diaphragm
Visceral Pleura C overs outer surface of lungs & extends in t o in t er l obar f i ss u res It is continuous with parietal pleura at hilum of each lung (this i s wher e s t ru c tures en t er & l ea v e l u n g)
Surface marking of pleurae
Surface marking of pleurae
Pleural cavity S pace between parietal & v iscera l p l e u ra It contains a small volume of serous fluid , which has two major functions 1. I t l ubri c at e s surf a ces o f p l e u r a e , al l o win g t hem t o s l i d e o v er each o t he r 2. serous fluid also produces a surface tension , pulling parietal & v iscer a l p l e u ra t o g e t her This ensures that when thorax expands , lung also expands, f i ll in g wi t h air
Pleural cavity
Pleural Cuff 2 layers continuous with one another by me a ns of a c u f f of p leura C uff surrounds structures entering & leaving lung a t h i lu m of each lung Pleural c u f f han g s down a s a loose fold c alle d the pulmon a ry l i ga m ent
Pleural Recesses Anteriorly & posteroinferiorly, pleural cavity is not completely f i l l ed b y lung s. This gives rise to recesses – where the opposing surfaces of the par i et a l pleur a touch T here ar e 2 r e c esses p r esent i n each pl e ural c a v ity: Costodiaphragmatic – located between costal pleurae & diaphragmatic pleura Costomediastinal – locate d b etween c os t al pleurae & med i a s t i n a l pleurae , beh i nd stern um .
Pleural Fluid P leura l spac e normally conta i ns 5 to 1 ml of clear fluid It lubricates opposing surfaces of the visceral & par i et a l pleura e dur i ng resp i rat i on The formation of fluid results from hydrostatic and osmotic pressures between capillaries P leural fluid is normally absorbed into capillaries of v i scera l pleura
Neurovascular supply Parietal Pleura S en si t i v e t o pres s ure, pain , an d t e m p er a t u re P r o duces a w e l l l ocalized pain Two nerves responsible for innervation of the parietal pleura: Intercostal nerves – innervates the costal and cervical pleura. Visceral Pleura Not sensitive to pain, temperature or touch S ensory f i bre s o nl y d e t ect s t r e tch Receives autonomic innervation from the pulmonary plexus (a network of nerves derived from the sympathetic trunk and vagus nerve) Arterial supply is via bronchial circulation ( internal thoracic ar t erie s ) , whic h al s o s u pp l ie s t he parenchym a of t he l u n gs.
Clinical Relevance
Clinical Relevance: Pneumothorax Pneumothorax (commonly referred to a collapsed lung ) occurs when air or gas is present within the pleural space . This removes the surface tension of the serous fluid present in the space, reducing lung extension Clinical features: Chest pain , and shortness of breath , and asymmetrical chest expansion Upon percussion, the affected side may be hyper-resonant (due to e xc e s s a i r w it h i n t h e c h e s t ) There are two main classes of pneumothorax Spontaneous Traumatic Traumatic: Occurs as a result of blunt or penetrating chest trauma, such as a rib fracture (often seen in road traffic collisions). Treatment depends on identifying the underlying cause Primary pneumothoraces tend to be small and generally require minimal intervention Secondary and traumatic pneumothoraces may require decompression to remove the extra air/gas in order for the lung to reinflate (this is achieved via t h e i n s e r t i on of a ch e s t dra i n )
Collapsed lung
Pleural Effusion
Pleural effusion
Applied features Pleurisy Inflammation of pleura (pleuritis or pleurisy), secondary to inflammation of the lung (e.g., pneumonia ) Results in pleural surfaces becoming coated with inflammatory exudate, causing the surfaces to be roughened This roughening produces friction, and a pleural rub can be heard wi t h t he s t e thosc o p e o n insp i r a t i o n an d expi r at i o n Often, the exudate becomes invaded by fibroblasts, which lay down collagen and bind the visceral pleura to the parietal pleura, forming p l e u ral adhesions.

Principal Bronchi
Principal Bronchi At the level of sternal angle , behind arch of aorta , trachea bifurcates into right & left main bronchi They undergo further branching to produce the secondary bronchi supplies a lobe of the lung, and gives rise to se v er a l segmen t a l br o nchi Along with branches of pulmonary artery and veins, the main br o nchi make up t he r o o t s of t he l u n gs Bronchi divide dichotomously, giving rise to several million terminal bronchioles that terminate in one or more respiratory bronchioles that divides into 2 to 11 alveolar ducts that en t er al veolar sacs
Structu r e Right main bronchus – wider, shorter , and descends more vertically than its l e f t - s i d e d c o u n t e r p a rt Left main bronchus – passes inferiorly to arch of aorta , and anteriorl y t o t h e t h or a c i c a or t a a n d o e s o p h a gus i n ord e r t o r e a ch t h e h i l um o f t h e l e ft lung

Clinical Relevance
Applied features At bifurcation of primary bronchi , a ridge of cartilage called the carina runs anteroposteriorly between openings of 2 bronchi This is most sensitive area of trachea for t r i gge r i n g cou gh r e f l e x , a n d c a n be seen on bronchoscopy Because right bronchus is wider & more d i r e ct con t i n u a ti on of t r a c h e a , for e i gn b o d i e s tend to enter the right instead of the left bronchus From there, they usually pass into the middle or lower lobe bronchi Clinically, this results in a higher incidence of foreign body inhalation .
