The space part is because there is nothing between the membranes but it is only potential space because there is no actual space between the bordering membranes, they touch together/
The potential space between the pleural membranes is called the thoracic cavity. This is also known as the pleural cavity in some instances.
The pleural cavity is the space between the pleura surrounding the lungs. The pleura is defined as the double folded membrane surrounding the lungs.
The two pleural membranes are the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura. The visceral pleura is the innermost layer that covers the surface of the lungs, while the parietal pleura lines the chest cavity. These membranes create a fluid-filled space called the pleural cavity, which helps to reduce friction and allows for smooth movement of the lungs during breathing.
The mediastinum.
This chamber is called the oral cavity. Actually the entire space that the tongue and teeth are in is the oral cavity.
The potential space between the pleural membranes is called the thoracic cavity. This is also known as the pleural cavity in some instances.
The mediastinum.
Pleural cavity is the potential space. There is no gap between the outer and the inner pleura. There is very little fluid in the pleural cavity. You have negative pressure in the pleural cavity.
the small potential space between the parietal and visceral layers of the pleura.
this answer is pleural cavity
this answer is pleural cavity
