pleural cavity.
The chest cavity is where your heart, lungs, and esophagus reside. It's essentially everything located behind the chest wall, but in front of the spine, above the diaphragm and below the throat.
Serous membranes line and enclose several body cavities where they secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement.Serous membranes are responsible for secreting serous fluids. Some organs that have serous membranes are the uterus, stomach, pericardium (the area that surrounds the heart), the pleural cavity (the area that surrounds the lungs) and the paritoneal cavity (the cavity that lines the abdominal organs). Without the secretions of the serous membranes, these areas would be dry....can you imagine your lungs sticking to your ribs as you breathe? That would not be good!Hope this helpsA RN in NJ
