Thorax: session 2 lungs, pleura and mechanics of breathing

Lungs and pleuraClinical anatomy
Lungs and visceral pleura are insensitive to pain, therefore pneumonia causes cough &/or SOB but chest pain may never be experienced

Parietal pleura is sensitive to pain therefore pleurisy may cause severe chest pain accentuated by deep inspiration or coughing

Pleurisy from basal pneumonia can cause referred abdominal pain

you should be able to identify the followings
