parietal pleura:
lining thoracic wall,
|
|
|
covering thoracic
surface of
|
|
|
mediastinum,
|
|
|
and extending into root of lung
|
|
| • |
visceral pleura:
completely covering
|
|
|
outer surfaces
of lung and extending
|
|
into interlobar
fissures
|
|
| • |
2 layers become
continuous
|
|
|
at hilum of
lung, forming pleural cuff
|
|
|
of connecting
pleura
|
|
| • |
Pulmonary
ligament: loose fold
|
|
|
hanging below
cuff; allows for
|
|
|
movement
|
|
|
of pulmonary
vessels and bronchi
