The layers are separated by a small amount of viscous lubricant known as pleural fluid. The peribronchial network follows the bronchial tree, draining lymph from. This article reviews the mechanisms that determine lymphatic flow, lymphatic lung anatomy, and the lymphatic response to respiratory pathology.
The visceral pleura covers the outer surface of the lungs, and extends into the interlobar fissures.
Pleura each lung is enclosed in a serous pleural sac consisting two continuous membrane called visceral and parietal pleura. This article uses anatomical terminology. The parietal pleura folds back on itself at the root of the lung to become the visceral pleura. They permit efficient and effortless respiration.
