ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs, blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi. There is no anatomical connection between the right and left pleural cavities. [1] With the addition of pleural fluid, the lung pleura allows for easy movement of the lungs and inflation during breathing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chest cavity is lined by a thin shiny membrane called the pleura, which covers the inside surface of the rib cage and spreads over the lungs as well.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pleura is a thin mesothelial layer that lines the thoracic cavity. The visceral pleura lines the lungs, and the parietal pleura lines the nonpulmonary surfaces.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pleural cavity is bounded by a double layered serous membrane called pleura. Pleura is formed by an inner visceral pleura and an outer parietal layer. Between these two membranous layers is a small amount of serous fluid held within the pleural cavity.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are two layers; the outer pleura (parietal pleura) is attached to the chest wall and the inner pleura (visceral pleura) covers the lungs and adjoining structures, via blood vessels, bronchi and nerves.
