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 mediastinal and diaphragmatic pleurae cover the mediastinum and diaphragm, respectively. During quiet respiration, the visceral and parietal pleura separate in regions that are not occupied by the lungs, resulting in pleural recesses. These allow for expansion during forced respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is the function of the pleural membranes? produce a serous fluid that reduces friction during breathing movements and helps to hold the lungs tightly to the thorax wall which keeps the lungs inflated.
