The pleura is a membrane that surrounds the lungs of mammals. Presumably, the phrase means that the surface of the pleura was found to be normal in an examination.

What is a surface normal?
There is no such expression. The normal to a surface, at a given point is the radius of curvature of the surface, at that point.
How do you find the normal vector of a ball or sphere?
The normal vector to the surface is a radius at the point of interest.
What is definition of curved surface area?
A curved surface area can be described as one where the gradient of the normal to the surface changes smoothly from point to point.
What does matte proof mean?
Matte proof coins are special proofs that have a grainy "sandblasted" look on the surface. Matte proof coins were sometimes made in the early part of the 1900's. Normal proof coins have a mirror like brilliant surface.
The mean of a standard normal distribution is?
The mean of a standard normal distribution is 0.
What is a pleural based opacity?
Pleural-based opacity refers to opacity seen in X-rays along the pleural surface. The opacity or silhouettes can mean many things like signs of injuries, possible thickening, or indications of disease.
What does pleural rub mean?
pleural rub
What the membrane on the surface of the lungs is called the?
The [mucosal] Pleural membrane.
What is a normal reading for pleural biopsy?
Normal findings indicate no evidence of any pathologic or disease conditions.
The force that tends to hold the visceral and parietal pleural membranes together?
surface tension.
How much pleural fluid does a normal healthy adult have in each hemithorax?
A normal healthy adult has around 10-20 milliliters of pleural fluid in each hemithorax. This fluid helps lubricate the pleural membranes and facilitates smooth movement of the lungs during breathing.
What does normal force mean?
The normal force is the force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. It acts perpendicular to the surface and prevents objects from passing through the surface.
What does the parietal pleura cover?
It covers the surface of the thorasic cavity and separates the medinastinum from the pleural cavity
What does pleural effusion mean?
The pleural effusion is any abnormal amount of fluid all around the lungs. It can result to varying types of medical conditions.
Which of the muscles listed does not aid ventilation 1 abdominal 2 pleural 3 accessory 4 respiratory?
Pleural muscles do not aid in ventilation. The pleural space acts as a lubricated surface that allows the lungs to expand and contract during breathing, but it is not a muscle that directly influences the movement of air in and out of the lungs.
Grating sound produced by friction of pleural surface?
The grating sound produced by friction of the pleural surfaces rubbing against each other is known as pleural friction rub. It is commonly heard in conditions like pleurisy and can be described as a creaking or grating sound that is typically heard during both inspiration and expiration. Pleural friction rub can indicate inflammation of the pleura and is generally associated with pain on breathing.
What is Pleural thickening?
