Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The parietal pleural membrane lines the chest wall and mediastinum, while the lungs are covered by the visceral pleura.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Three pairs of scalene muscles (scalenus anterior, scalenus medius, and scalenus posterior) arise from the lower five or six cervical vertebrae and insert on the clavicle and first two ribs (Figure 9-23). They lift the upper chest when active.
