The Lungs and Thoracic Chamber -

  • A major organ of the respiratory system, each lung houses structures of both the conducting and respiratory zones.
  • The lungs are pyramid-shaped, paired organs that are connected to the trachea by the right and left bronchi; on the inferior surface, the lungs are bordered by the diaphragm.
  • The lungs are covered by a double-layered pleura, with pleural fluid between them. It reduces friction on the lung-surface.
  • The outer pleural membrane is in close contact with the thoracic lining whereas the inner pleural membrane is in contact with the lung surface.
  • The lungs are situated in the thoracic chamber which is anatomically an air-tight chamber.

The lungs are situated in the thoracic chamber which is anatomically an air-tight chamber. Hence, the correct option is thoracic chamber
