QUESTION 37 Which of the following is FALSE? O O O The wall of the pleural cavity is lined with parietal pleura. The surface of the lungs is covered with visceral pleura. The pleural cavity is the space between the individual alveoli. The pleural fluid between the visceral and parietal pleura makes the 2 membranes stick together. The alveoli share some of their walls with the visceral surface so when chest wall expands when breathing this "pulls" on the alveoli against the wall which opens them.
