Pleura of the Lungs. The pleura includes two thin layers of tissue that protect and cushion the lungs. The inner layer (visceral pleura) wraps around the lungs and is stuck so tightly to the lungs that it cannot be peeled off. The outer layer (parietal pleura) lines the inside of the chest wall.The very thin space between the layers is called the pleural cavity. A liquid, called pleural fluid, lubricates the pleural cavity so that the two layers of pleural tissue can slide against each other.By Healthwise Staff.he very thin space between the layers is called the pleural cavity. A liquid, called pleural fluid, lubricates the pleural cavity so that the two layers of pleural tissue can slide against each other.
A small amount of pleural fluid found in the thoracic cavity serves as a lubricant, reducing friction as the tissues rub against each other. 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 c â¦ ontact and slide over one another as the lungs expand and contract.
