Parietal Pleura 3D

  • Description                                                    
    • * Lines the inner surface of the thoracic wall and the mediastinum.
    • * is thicker than the pulmonary pleura, and is subdivided into four parts, including costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal, and cervical.
    • * Is very sensitive to pain. It is innervated by the intercostal nerves and the phrenic nerves.
    • * Is supplied by branches of the internal thoracic, superior phrenic, posterior intercostal, and superior intercostal arteries. However, the visceral pleura is supplied by the bronchial arteries.

 

  • Costal Pleura:
    • * Lines the thoracic wall which comprises ribs and intercostal spaces to which it is loosely attached by a layer of areolar tissue called the endothoracic fascia.

 

  • Mediastinal Pleura:
    • * Lines the corresponding surface of the mediastinum.
    • * Is reflected over the root of the lung and becomes continuous with the pulmonary pleura around the hilum.

 

  • Cervical Pleura:
    • * Extends into the neck, nearly 5 cm above the first costal cartilage and 2.5 cm above the medial one-third of the clavicle, and covers the apex of the lung.
    • * Is covered by the supra-pleural membrane.

 

  • Diaphragmatic Pleura:
    • * Lines the superior aspect of diaphragm.
    • * Covers the base of the lung and gets continuous with mediastinal pleura medially and costal pleura laterally.
