Serosal Membranes (Pleura, Pericardium, Peritoneum) Normal Structure, Development and Experimental Pathology /

in the human visceral pleura is the sole reliable criterion for the statement that it belongs to the 'thick type', while all observed animals have a 'thin' type VP. The mesothelium and underlying structures of the SM represent a highly permeable bidirectional membrane with signi?...
