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.

The visceral and parietal pleura are made of?
serous membranes
Parietal pleura is a serous membrane where?
the inner lining of the lung
The parietal pleural represents a serous membrane?
yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane. So is the visceral pleura for that matter, and the peritoneum as well.
The parietal pleura would represent a serous membrane?
Lining the thoracic cavity
What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?
The pleura is the serous membrane of the thoracic cavity.
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
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.
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.
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 pleural membrane?
The pleural membrane is a double-layered serous membrane found in the thoracic cavity. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and lines the thoracic wall, and the inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs. The membranes produce lubricating serous fluid that causes them to adhere closely to one another. This holds the lungs to the thoracic wall allowing easier movement during breathing.
