Reflections of the Pleurae (Fig. 907).—Commencing at the sternum, the pleura passes laterad, covers the inner surfaces of the ribs and costal cartilages, and Internal intercostal muscles, and at the back part of the thorax passes over the gangliated cord of the sympathetic and its branches, and is reflected upon the sides of the bodies of the vertebrae where it is separated by a narrow interval, the posterior mediastinum [cavum mediastinale posterius), from the opposite pleura. From the vertebral column the pleura passes to the side of the pericardium, which it SCALENUS MINIMUS MUSCLE. Fig. 909.—The supports of the pli aside to show the pleural reenforcementi d arteries have been cut and pulled covers to a slight extent; it then covers the back part of the root of the lung, from the lower border of which a triangular sheet descends vertically by the side of the posterior mediastinum to the Diaphragm, but is not attached thereto. This sheet is the posterior layer of a wide fold, known as the broad ligament of the lung (ligamentum pulmonale or ligamentum latum pulmonis). From the -posterior aspect of the lung root, the pleura may be traced over the convex surface of the lung, the apex, and base, and also into the fissures between the lobes, on to its inner surface and the front part of its root; it is continued from the lower margin of the root as the anterior layer of the broad ligament, and from this it is reflected on to the pericardium, and from it to the back of the sternum. Beloiv, it covers the upper surface
