I would think you mean, 'pleura'. That is a dlicate membrane that covers the lungs and chest wall. The visceral pleura is what covers the lungs, the parietal pleura covers the chest wall and diaphram. 'pericardium' is a double-layered sac surrounding the heart and large vessels entering and leaving the heart. 'peritoneum' is a serous membrane that covers the entire abdominal wall and envelops the organs contained in the abdomen.
