pleura but their are different types of pleura but im not sure if there's more than one.

_____

Yes, there are more than one type of pleura. Immediately surrounding the lobes of the lungs is visceral pleura. There is also a layer of parietal pleura that surrounds both the lungs and their visceral pleura. Between the visceral and parietal pleura is a potential space that contains a thin layer of mucoid liquid, that some refer to as synovial fluid, although it is not true synovial fluid. This fluid allows the two layers of pleura to slide easily against one another when the lungs inflate and deflate during respiration.
