Where is lubricating fluid secreted by the pleura located?
The lubricating fluid secreted by the pleura is located between the two layers of the pleural membrane: the visceral and parietal pleura. This fluid helps reduce friction between the two layers during breathing movements.
How does pleura and lymph between the two layers protects the respiratory system?

The membrane that covers the lungs are?
They are called pleura. There are 2 layers, the visceral (nect to the lung) and the parietal (on the outside), with a cavity in between them called the pleural cavity which contains a small amount of fluid. they are thin layers of smooth epithelium. The two layers rub against each other during breathing, the fluid helps to prevent friction.
The pressure that forms between the two layers of the pleura is called?
Pleural Pressureatmospheric pressure
What Membrane is in which layers of the lungs?
The lungs are lined by two layers of serous membrane known as pleura. The visceral pleura adheres tightly to the surface of the lungs, while the parietal pleura lines the thoracic cavity. Between these two layers is the pleural cavity, which contains pleural fluid that reduces friction during breathing. This structure allows for efficient lung expansion and contraction during respiration.
What body system is the pleura?
That is a good question! You have a pleura, that surround the lungs. You have inner and outer layers (visceral and parietal layers). Both are connected to each other. In fact you have a balloon, in which your lungs grow. You take out the air from the balloon and you get the pleura. So both the come together at the blood vessels and bronchi. The lungs are totally elastic organs and collapse to small ball, if air enters the pleura. This elasticity of lungs create the negative pressure in the pleura. The negative pressure in pleura keeps the lungs in expanded condition. You have little fluid in the pleura. This reduces the friction between the outer and inner layers of pleura.
What Plural form of the medical term pleura?
The plural form of the medical term "pleura" is "pleurae." The pleura refers to the membranes surrounding the lungs, and in the plural form, it denotes the two layers (visceral and parietal) that enclose each lung.
What is the layer of serous membrane that is firmly attached to the surface of the lung?
Well there are two layers of membranes that line the interior of the lungs. The outer layer of the lungs is the parietal pleura and is attached to the chest wall. The visceral pleura is the inner of the two layers, and unlike the parietal pleura, the visceral pleura is not sensitive to pain. ~hope this is helpful.
What is between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura?
The difference between these two pleura is that the parietal pleura is the outtermost covering of the lung which is adhered to the inner thoracic wall, while the visceral pleura is the lining which is directly adhered to the lung itself. The space between these two pleuras is know as the pleual cavity.
The outer membrane which covers the lungs?
The outer membrane that covers the lungs is called the pleura. It consists of two layers - the visceral pleura, which is directly attached to the lungs, and the parietal pleura, which lines the chest cavity. The pleura helps to protect and support the lungs while allowing them to move smoothly during breathing.
What do pleura do?
Pleura are thin layers of smooth epithelium that make up the pleural tissue that lines the inner surface of the walls of the chest. The two layers of the pleura are in contact and slide over one another as the lungs expand and contract. A small amount of pleural fluid found in the thoracic cavity serves as a lubricant, reducing friction as the tissues rub against each other.

What membrane surrounds lungs heart and organs in the abdomen?
The membrane that surrounds the lungs is called the pleura, which consists of two layers: the visceral pleura (lining the lungs) and the parietal pleura (lining the chest wall). The heart is encased in a membrane known as the pericardium, which also has two layers: the visceral pericardium (attached to the heart) and the parietal pericardium (forming the outer layer). The organs in the abdomen are surrounded by the peritoneum, a membrane that also has visceral and parietal layers, providing support and protecting the abdominal organs.
