visceral pleura

Examples of visceral pleura in the following topics:

• The Mechanics of Human Breathing

  • The layer of tissue that covers the lung and dips into spaces is called the visceral pleura.
  • A second layer of parietal pleura lines the interior of the thorax .
  • A tissue layer called pleura surrounds the lung and interior of the thoracic cavity.

• Phylum Mollusca

  • Mollusks have a soft body and share several characteristics, including a muscular foot, a visceral mass of internal organs, and a mantle.
  • In spite of their tremendous diversity, however, they also share a few key characteristics, including a muscular foot, a visceral mass containing internal organs, and a mantle that may or may not secrete a shell of calcium carbonate .
  • The visceral mass is present above the foot in the visceral hump.

• Animal Characterization Based on Features of Embryological Development

  • The mesoderm, the third germ layer forming between the endoderm and ectoderm in triploblasts, gives rise to all muscle tissues (including the cardiac tissues and muscles of the intestines), connective tissues such as the skeleton and blood cells, and most other visceral organs such as the kidneys and the spleen.
  • This coelomic cavity represents a fluid-filled space that lies between the visceral organs and the body wall.

• Classification of Phylum Mollusca

  • The visceral mass in the shelled species displays torsion around the perpendicular axis on the center of the foot, which is the key characteristic of this group, along with a foot that is modified for crawling .
