Pleura Costal

The costal pleura is the part of the pleura that covers the ribs and their connections to the spine. It is important for breathing as it protects the lungs and prevents damage.

The costal pleura consists of two layers: visceral and parietal. The visceral layer covers the lungs and is connected to the parietal layer, which covers the ribs and spinal column. Between these layers is the pleural cavity filled with pleural fluid.

One of the functions of the pleural costal membrane is to protect the lungs from mechanical damage. As the lungs expand and contract, the costal pleura protects the lungs from friction against the ribs and spine. In addition, the costal pleura helps maintain normal body temperature, as it helps remove heat from the lungs.

However, in some cases, the costal pleura can become a source of problems. For example, with inflammation of the pleural membranes (pleurisy) or with lung tumors, the pleura can be damaged and cause pain and discomfort.

Also, the costal pleura plays an important role in regulating breathing. As the ribs expand and contract during breathing, the costal pleura ensures proper movement of air through the lungs. This allows the lungs to receive enough oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which is necessary to maintain normal functioning of the body.

In conclusion, the costal pleura is an important part of the pleura and plays a key role in protecting the lungs and maintaining normal breathing. If it is damaged, serious problems can arise, so it is important to monitor its condition and consult a doctor if symptoms appear.

Costal pleura (costal pleural sheet, rib sheet) is an area of ​​pleurocostal fascia covering the ribs on the lateral side of the chest and is involved in the formation of the costal pleura. The sternocostal member must participate in the costal ligaments - the main ligament between the thoracic organ and the spine. The pleura forms the middle part of the costal ligament during life, but by the time of death the human body no longer exists. Some researchers believe that the rib structure shows some differentiation between inhalation and exhalation in each breath. In addition, the rib membranes allow air to flow into the lower and upper parts of the lungs during inhalation and exhalation.
