The pleural membrane is a double-layered serous membrane found in the thoracic cavity. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and lines the thoracic wall, and the inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs. The membranes produce lubricating serous fluid that causes them to adhere closely to one another. This holds the lungs to the thoracic wall allowing easier movement during breathing.
Each lung lies within the pleural cavity within which the lung expands. The pleural cavity is lined by two transparent elastic membranes called the pleura/pleural membranes. The inner pleuron covers the lung the outer pleuron is in contact with the walls of the thorax and the diaphragm. A thin layer of lubricating fluid between the pleural membranes allows them to glide over each other when the lungs expand and contract during breathing. So your answer is the pleural fluid lies between the 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.
There is no such thing as the pericardial cavity. The visceral pericardium is the outer layer of the heart, and also called the epicardium. The lining on the inside of the pericardium is called the parietal pericardium.

The pleural cavity, also known as the thoracic cavity, is where the lungs and the heart are located.
the lungs are protected with a db layer serous membrane. 1: is the superficial layer called the Parietal pleura that line the walls of the thoracic cavity. 2: The deeper layer is the visceral pleura, which cover the lungs themselves. In between the both membranes is a small space(cavity)filled with pleurisy to reduce friction.
The thoracic cavity is the hollow place in the body where the heart and lungs are seated. This cavity is lined with the serous membrane, which is a thin layer of tissue that secretes a liquid that keeps the organs from drying out.

PLEURAEach lung is enclosed in a serous pleural sac consisting two continuous membrane called visceral and parietal pleura. The two layers are continuous with each other around the hilum of the lung and enclose a potential space between them known as the pleural cavity. The pleura are lined by mesothelium. The visceral pleura invest all the surfaces of the lung forming their shiny outer surface and the parietal pleura lines the pulmonary cavities. The pleural cavity contains a layer of serous pleural fluid, which lubricates the pleural surfaces and allows the layers of pleura to slide smoothly over each other during respiration. Its surface tension also provides the cohesion that keeps the lung surface in contact with the thoracic wall.The visceral pleura or pulmonary pleura closely covers the lung and is adherent to all its surfaces, including the surfaces within the horizontal and oblique fissures. The visceral pleura dip into the lung fissures so that the lobes of the lung are also covered with it. The visceral pleura are continuous with the parietal pleura at the hilum of the lung.The parietal pleura line the pulmonary cavities. The parietal pleura consists of four parts1. Costal pleura- covers the internal surfaces of the thoracic wall.( ribs and intercostals spaces)2. Mediastinal pleura- covers the lateral aspects of the mediastinum.3. Diaphragmatic pleura- covers the superior or thoracic surface of the diaphragm on each side of the mediastinum4. Cervical pleura (pleural cupula or dome of pleura)- extends from the superior thoracic aperture into the root of the neck, forming a cup shaped pleural dome over the apex of the lung.The pleural cavity is the potential space between the layers of pleura and contains a capillary layer of serous pleural fluid, which lubricates the pleural surfaces and allows the layers of pleura to slide smoothly over each other during respiration.
Pleura covers the lungs. It has 2 folds- the visceral (inner) pleura and the parietal (outer) pleura.
Visceral pleura
Yes, each serous membrane forms an inner visceral layer that covers the organs in the cavity. And the visceral pericardium is a serosa membrane associated with the heart.
