Each of the following statements abut a pleural cavity is correct EXCEPT:
It is a large cavity when the lung is deflated
air moves freely in and out of it during respiration
It is a potential space between the layers of the pleura
It normally contains a capillary layer of fluid

Which of the following is an INCORRECT completion? The visceral pleura is -
Supplied by the bronchial arteries
Drained by veins which open into the pulmonary veins
Supplied by autonomic nerves which accompany the bronchial vessels
Very sensitive to pain, particularly near the root of the lung
Drained by lymphatic vessels that enter lymph nodes in the hilum of the lung
Correct statements about the bronchial arteries include each of the following EXCEPT:
they supply the substance of the lung tissue
They are small and pass along the posterior aspects of the bronchi
They supply the bronchi as far distally as the respiratory bronchioles
The 2 left bronchial arteries arise form the thoracic aorta
