The pleura are two thin membranes that line the thoracic cavity and surround the lungs. Their primary roles include reducing friction between the lungs and the chest wall during breathing, facilitating smooth lung expansion and contraction. Additionally, the pleura help maintain pressure differentials essential for effective respiration and provide a protective barrier against infections in the thoracic cavity.
