What body system is the pleura?
That is a good question! You have a pleura, that surround the lungs. You have inner and outer layers (visceral and parietal layers). Both are connected to each other. In fact you have a balloon, in which your lungs grow. You take out the air from the balloon and you get the pleura. So both the come together at the blood vessels and bronchi. The lungs are totally elastic organs and collapse to small ball, if air enters the pleura. This elasticity of lungs create the negative pressure in the pleura. The negative pressure in pleura keeps the lungs in expanded condition. You have little fluid in the pleura. This reduces the friction between the outer and inner layers of pleura.
