Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The area between the visceral and parietal pleura is called the pleural space and it contains serous fluid, which helps to prevent friction between the two layers during breathing movements. The hilum is a site of entry and exit of blood vessels and nerves to and from the lungs. The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity that contains various organs such as the heart, major blood vessels, and esophagus. A pericardial window is a surgical procedure in which a small opening is made in the pericardium to drain excess fluid that accumulates around the heart.
