What is the Pleura?
The pleura is a double-layered membrane that surrounds the lungs and lines the chest cavity. It consists of two layers:
- Visceral Pleura: The inner layer that covers the lungs.
- Parietal Pleura: The outer layer that lines the chest wall.
The space between these layers is called the pleural cavity, which contains a small amount of lubricating fluid to reduce friction during breathing.

- Pleural Effusion: Accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural cavity.
