What is the pleura space?
The potential space between the lining of the chest cavity (pleura) and the lining that covers the lungs (also called the pleura). These linings are made of serous membranes that secrete serous fluid for lubrication, so there is no friction during breathing when the lungs expand and contract against the chest wall. There is a vacuum maintained in this space that keeps the lungs inflated.
