Summary Introduction
To explain: The function of serous fluid in the pleural cavity.
Concept introduction: The membrane that lines the outer surfaces of lung and the adjacent internal thoracic wall is known as the pleura. It is a serous membrane that consists of simple squamous epithelium and a thin layer of areolar connective tissue. There are two layers of pleura, namely the visceral pleura and the parietal pleura.
