Different portions of the parietal pleura have received special names which indicate their position: thus, that portion which lines the inner surfaces of the ribs and intercostals is the costal pleura; the pleura lining the convex surface of the diaphragm is the diaphragmatic pleura; that which rises into the neck, over the apex of the lung, is the cupula of the pleura (cervical pleura); and that which is applied to the other thoracic viscera is the mediastinal pleura.
