Question

which of the following is yrue about pleural membranes except
a)outer pleural membranes is in close contact with the thoracic lining
b)inner pleural membranes is in contact with the lungs surface
c)pleural fluid is present between them
d)it increase friction on the lungs surface​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a option A

Answer 2

Answer:

Except for the fact that outer pleural membranes are in close proximity to the thoracic lining, all statements about pleural membranes are true.

Explanation:

The pleural membrane has two layers and is very thin, wet, and slippery. The diaphragm and the inside of the rib cage are lined by the outer, or parietal, pleura, while the lungs are protected by the inner, or visceral, or pulmonary, layer. The intrapleural space, which is located between the two layers, typically contains fluid secreted by the membranes. This pleural fluid smooths and lubricates the pleura to make it glide smoothly during inhalation and exhalation. It also lubricates the lung tissues to prevent friction between them and the ribs.

Therefore, the correct option is (a) i.e. outer pleural membranes is in close contact with the thoracic lining.
