What Pleural fluid in the human body contained between?
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.

How does the body naturally drain pleural effusion?
The body naturally drains pleural effusion through a process of reabsorption and lymphatic drainage. The pleural space is lined with pleural membranes that can absorb fluid, while the lymphatic system helps transport excess fluid away from the pleural cavity. Additionally, any underlying conditions that caused the effusion, such as infection or inflammation, need to resolve for the body to effectively eliminate the fluid. In some cases, the effusion may require medical intervention if it does not resolve on its own.
