Lung is protected by a double thin layer covering called the pleura – that separate your lungs from your chest wall, lubricates and protects the lung during inspiration (expands) and expiration (deflates).
Between the two layers there is a gap called pleural space – that’s usually filled with a very small amount of liquid. These layers act like two pieces of smooth satin gliding past each other, allowing lungs to expand and contract when you breathe. When there is a collection of large fluid in the pleural space it is called pleural effusion.
Pleurisy or pleuritis is a condition in which the pleura becomes inflamed or infected. As a result, the two layers of the pleural lining rub against each other like two pieces of sandpaper which causes pain when you breathe in and out.
