What two cavities does the parietal pleura cover?
The parietal pleura covers two cavities: the thoracic cavity and the pleural cavities that surround each lung. It lines the inner surface of the thoracic wall, diaphragm, and mediastinum, providing a protective layer. This membrane helps facilitate lung movement during respiration by reducing friction between the lungs and surrounding structures.
