Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A pleura is a serous membrane that folds back on itself to form a two-layered membranous pleural sac. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and attaches to the chest wall. The inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs, blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi.
Detailed explanation-2: -A serous fluid is a watery fluid, resembling (blood-)serum. This also explains the name ‘serous membrane’. Serous membranes consist of a single layer of epithelium, named mesothelium, attached to a supporting layer of connective tissue, with a small layer in between, the basal membrane (fig 1).
