What is pluera?
Each of a pair of serous membranes lining the thorax and enveloping the lungs
What is the pleural membrane?
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.
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.

What membranes are associated with the lungs and the thoracic walls?
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.
Where does all the snot come from?
