  1. Normally the pleural cavity contains less than 20 milliliters (4 teaspoons) of clear, yellowish (serous) fluid.


  2. Pleural fluid.  If you get too much, it's a pleural effusion.

  3. Pleural fluid.

    Potential pleural cavity between visceral and parietal layers of pleura normally contains a very thin layer of fluid (from 2 to 10 micro m thick ), which represents equillibrium between hydrostatic & oncotic forces in the pleural vessels and extensive lymphatic drainage.

    Pleural effusion (abnormal accumulation of fluid in pleural space) results when there is disruption of this balance across pleural membranes.

  4. plueral fluid :)
