What body system is the pleura?
That is a good question! You have a pleura, that surround the lungs. You have inner and outer layers (visceral and parietal layers). Both are connected to each other. In fact you have a balloon, in which your lungs grow. You take out the air from the balloon and you get the pleura. So both the come together at the blood vessels and bronchi. The lungs are totally elastic organs and collapse to small ball, if air enters the pleura. This elasticity of lungs create the negative pressure in the pleura. The negative pressure in pleura keeps the lungs in expanded condition. You have little fluid in the pleura. This reduces the friction between the outer and inner layers of pleura.

What pressure is the gas pressure between the visceral and parietal pleurae?
Lungs are totally elastic organs. They are kept in position by negative pressure in visceral and parietal pleura. There is no gas in cavity between both pleura. In fact both pleura are part of one one collapsed balloon. Very small amount of fluid in cavity between pleura keeps it lubricating. If air accidentally enters there, then there is a condition called as Pneumothorax. There is also a condition called as Tension Pneumothorax. Which is an emergency.
