What is a mixture of lipoproteins?
A mixture of lipoproteins is called surfactants. They acts to reduce the tendency of alveoli to collapse. Only a thin film of lubricating serous fluid separates the parietal pleura from the visceral pleura of a lung.

Parietal pleura is a serous membrane where?
the inner lining of the lung
The parietal pleura would represent a serous membrane?
Yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the walls of the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, allowing them to move smoothly during breathing.
A bullet enters the left side of a male passes through left lung lodges the heart what is the order the serous membrane and their cavities through which the bullet passes?
pparietal pleura, visceral pleura, parietal pleura, parietal pericardium, visceral pericardium
The parietal pleural represents a serous membrane?
The parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, as well as facilitate their movement during breathing. It also produces a fluid that helps reduce friction during lung movements.
Name and describes the two layers of the pleura?
Visceral and parietal visceral- covers the lungs, thin serous membrane parietal- lines the inner chest wall and covers diaphram
What is the difference in parietal and visceral peritoneum?
The difference between these two pleura is that the parietal pleura is the outtermost covering of the lung which is adhered to the inner thoracic wall, while the visceral pleura is the lining which is directly adhered to the lung itself. The space between these two pleuras is know as the pleual cavity.
Pleura are examples of which type of membrane?
Pleura are examples of serous membranes, which are thin membranes that line body cavities not directly open to the outside of the body. They consist of two layers - parietal (lining the cavity walls) and visceral (covering the organs).
What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?
The serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum produces a fluid that helps to reduce friction between organs during movement.
What is the layer of serous membrane that is firmly attached to the surface of the lung?
Well there are two layers of membranes that line the interior of the lungs. The outer layer of the lungs is the parietal pleura and is attached to the chest wall. The visceral pleura is the inner of the two layers, and unlike the parietal pleura, the visceral pleura is not sensitive to pain. ~hope this is helpful.
What reduces the friction between the parietal and visceral surfaces of an internal cavity is the function of?
The function of serous fluid reduces friction between the parietal and visceral surfaces of an internal cavity. Serous fluid is a lubricating fluid secreted by serous membranes that helps organs move smoothly within body cavities.
