Correct Answer: Pleura


Solution : The correct option is - Pleura

The membrane covering the lungs is called the pleura. There are two layers of pleura, Visceral Pleura: This inner layer of the pleura is in direct contact with the surface of the lungs. Parietal Pleura: This outer layer of the pleura lines the inside of the chest cavity.The space between these two layers is called the pleural cavity, and it is filled with a small amount of pleural fluid, which helps reduce friction during breathing and allows the lungs to expand and contract smoothly within the chest cavity. This pleural membrane and its associated structures are essential for the proper functioning of the respiratory system.
