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.

Pleurisy: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments. Pleurisy, also known as pleuritis, is a condition where the linings of the lungs and chest become inflamed. The pleural cavity - the area between the lungs and inner chest wall - sits between two lubricated surfaces, called pleura. The inner pleura lines the lungs and the outer lines the chest wall. A variety of factors can cause the pleura to become inflamed, this is called pleurisy.
