-It is a real space that separates the visceral and parietal pleura so that they do not touch.
-It is a real space outside of the pleural membranes, creating a slight distance between the
lungs and the ribs.
-It is a potential space that becomes a real space only during forced exhalation, allowing the
lungs to decrease significantly in size.
----It is a potential space that contains a lubricating fluid that allows the visceral and parietal
pleura to slide by each other easily. - ANS-Which of the following is true about the pleural
cavity?
(breathing) movement of air into and out of lungs
gas exchange involves four simultaneous processes: pulmonary ventilation, alveolar gas
exchange, gas transport within the blood, systemic gas exchange (between blood and body
cells) - ANS-pulmonary ventilation
10 bronchiopulmonary segments in the right lung and 8-10 in the left lung
each segment is supplied by its own tertiary bronchus and a branch of a pulmonary artery and
vein
each segment is surrounded by and isolated from other segments by connective tissue -
