Abstract
Pleural fluid is filtered across the parietal mesothelium in the top of the pleural cavity and removed by lymphatic stomatas in the more dependent mediastinal and diaphragmatic regions. The pleural lymphatics act as a feedback system that regulates pleural liquid volume and its protein composition around a low volume set point.
