The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura attached to the lungs and the parietal pleura lining the thoracic cavity. The pleura produces a small amount of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
The thoracic cavity is the hollow place in the body where the heart and lungs are seated. This cavity is lined with the serous membrane, which is a thin layer of tissue that secretes a liquid that keeps the organs from drying out.
Yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the walls of the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, allowing them to move smoothly during breathing.
The serous membrane, specifically the parietal serosa, lines the closed ventral cavities of the body. Examples include the pleura in the thoracic cavity and the peritoneum in the abdominal cavity.
The endosteum lines the medullary cavity.

The parietal pleura is a serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity. It helps protect and cushion the lungs, as well as facilitate their movement during breathing. It also produces a fluid that helps reduce friction during lung movements.
The serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum produces a fluid that helps to reduce friction between organs during movement.
