Pleura extends to which rib in mid axillary line?
The inferior border of the pleura extends laterally from the xiphisternal joint, crosses rib 8 in the midclavicular line and rib 10 in the midaxillary line, and then proceeds toward the spine of the 12th thoracic veebra. Pleura-Mesothelial lining of each hemithorax. Derived from embryonic coelomic lining.
