Each [[lung]] is invested by an exceedingly delicate serous membrane, the [[pleura]], which is arranged in the form of a closed invaginated sac. A portion of the serous membrane covers the surface of the [[lung]] and dips into the fissures between its lobes; it is called the '''pulmonary pleura''' (or '''visceral pleura''').
