Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The average person has approximately 8 ml of pleural fluid per hemithorax.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The average person has approximately 8 ml of pleural fluid per hemithorax. It is estimated that this pleural fluid has a total protein concentration similar to that of interstitial fluid elsewhere in the body: between 1.3 and 1.4 g/dl. In human beings, the pleural spaces surrounding each lung are completely independent, being separated by the mediastinum.
