More in depth, fluid filters from capillaries in nearby connective tissue and mesothelial cells add hyaluronic acid to it to form the aforementioned serous fluid. The purpose of this fluid is to lubricate the parietal and visceral layers and allow them to slide against one another without destructive buildup of frictional forces.
