title: [Functional morphology of the pleura (author's transl)].
abstract: Peculiarities of topography, structure and injuries are responsible for the pathomorphological behaviour of the pleura. Its characteristical macro- and microscopic alterations are correlated with the typical cytological findings of effusions. Additionally to the pleural reactions in acute inflammation, the postpleuritic functional disturbances of pleura and lung are reported.
