Pleurisy
1. The heart in the pericardium. 2. The aorta. 3. The three arteries which supply head and arms. 4. The superior vena cava, which transport blood back from the head and arms to the heart. 5. The lower half of the thyroid gland. 6. The trachea. 7. The pulmonary arteries (cut off), which carry nitrogenous blood through the lungs where it is cleansed and oxygenated, and then transported back through the cross-sectioned vessels (8) to the left atrium. 9. The broached sternum. 10. The eight top ribs, sawn through. 11. The ninth rib. 12. The costal cartilages. 13. The pleura, a thin membrane which coats the entire thorax; here it is inflamed. Normally, the pleura emits a mucous liquid (lymph) to protect the lungs against friction. When inflamed, this secretion increases so much that litres of the liquid need to be suctioned frequently. To this end, a chest-tube needs to be inserted, usually at in back underneath the shoulder blade.
