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 [[Intercostales]] is the [[costal pleura]]; that clothing the convex surface of the diaphragm is the [[diaphragmatic pleura]]; that which rises into the neck, over the summit 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'''.
