What is the innermost layer of the pleura known as?
Visceral pleura. The parietal pleura surrounds the outside of the lung. When you are dissecting, the parietal pleura is the layer of lung that you remove. It is difficult to remove the visceral pleura, but not impossible.

What cavity is the parietal pleura found in?
The parietal pleura is in the thoracic cavity, lining the inner chest wall atop the diaphragm.
Innermost layer of the pleura is known as?
Visceral pleura
What is the Innervation of visceral and parietal pleura?
parietal pleura innervated by intercostal and phrenic nerve while visceral innervated by pulmonary plexus
Where is lubricating fluid secreted by the pleura located?
Between the parietal and visceral pleura.
Which structure is the layer of the pleura that forms the sac containing each lung?
parietal pleura
The most superficial wall of the pleural cavity is lined with what?
parietal pleura: visceral pleura
What structure encloses each lung including its blood vessels and nerves?
The pleurae cover each lung and line the inner surface of the thoracic cavity. The pleura that encloses the lung is called the visceral pleura. The pleura that lines the thoracic cavity is the parietal pleura.
The 2 pleural membranes?
The two pleural membranes are the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura. The visceral pleura is the innermost layer that covers the surface of the lungs, while the parietal pleura lines the chest cavity. These membranes create a fluid-filled space called the pleural cavity, which helps to reduce friction and allows for smooth movement of the lungs during breathing.
