About the Pleural

Features: It is a serous membrane lined by mesothelium (flat epithelium)

Definition: It is a serous membrane that folds back on itself to form a two-layered membranous pleural sac.

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 cavity.

Layers: there are two layers of pleural sac

1. Parietal pleura: it is the outer layer of parietal.

2. Visceral pleura: it is the inner layer of pleura. Also known as pulmonary pleura.

Note: Both layers are continuous with each other around the hilum of the lung.
