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.

Is cell walls found in animals?
Cell membranes are found in animal cells but not cell walls.
Is the cell wall located inside the cell membrane?
Plant cells have cell walls, animal cells have cell membranes. Cells do not have both walls and membranes, they have one or the other.
Are cell walls and cell membranes selectively permeable?
Cell membranes are selectively permeable while cell walls are semi-selectively permeable. Keep in mind that only low level organisms, like plants, have cell walls.
What helps form cell walls and membranes?
carbohydrate cells
