Parietal pleura lines the thoracic wall, thoracic surface of the
diaphragm, lateral aspect of the mediastinum and undersurface of the suprapleural membrane at the thoracic outlet
Visceralpleura
completely covers the outer surfaces of the lungs
and extends into the depths of the interlobarfissures
CUFF OF PLEURA where the parietal and visceral
pleura become continuous
found at the HILUM of the lung
PULMONARY LIGAMENT allow for movement of
the pulmonary vessels and large
bronchi during respiration
PLEURALFLUID a thin film of tissue fluid which
covers the surfaces of the pleura
permits movement of the two layers
with minimum friction
TRACHEA Mobile cartilaginous and membranous tube
TRACHEA Ends at the CARINA
SECONDARY BRONCHI : Lobar
TERTIARY BRONCHI : Segmental
BRONCHIOLES
< 1 mm in diameter
No cartilage in the walls
Lined with columnarciliated epithelium
Abdominal Type of Respiration
babies and young children nearly horizontal ribs
Thoracic Type of Respiration after 2nd year of life
more oblique ribs
Expiration – Rises by one vertebral level
Inspiration – Lowers as far as T6
