QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial dissection of the thoracic cavity, with the lungs and the heart visible. The pericardium is the layer of fibrous tissue surrounding the heart. However, the arrow indicates the pleurae and the pleural cavity. The pleurae are the thin membranes surrounding the lungs and the pleural cavity is the fluid-filled space situated in between them.

QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial dissection of the thoracic cavity, with the lungs and the heart visible. The intercostal muscles are located in between the ribs and they are much thicker than the structures indicated by the arrow – the pleurae and the pleural cavity. The pleurae are the thin membranes surrounding the lungs and the pleural cavity is the fluid-filled space situated in between them.

QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial dissection of the thoracic cavity, with the lungs and the heart visible. The costotransverse joint can be identified because it is formed between the costal tubercle of the rib and the transvers process of the spinal vertebra (the bony prominence pointing laterally). However, the arrow indicates the pleurae and the pleural cavity. The pleurae are the thin membranes surrounding the lungs and the pleural cavity is the fluid-filled space situated in between them.

Pleura and the pleural cavity
QuestionChoice
The image shows an axial dissection of the thoracic cavity, with the lungs and the heart visible. The costovertebral joint is formed between the head of the rib and the inferior and superior articular facets located on the posterolateral aspect of the vertebral bodies of the vertebrae above and at the level of the rib. However, the arrow indicates the pleurae and the pleural cavity. The pleurae are the thin membranes surrounding the lungs and the pleural cavity is the fluid-filled space situated in between them.
