The membrane that surrounds and protects the lungs is called:
A. Peritoneum
B. Pericardium
C. Pleura
D. Meninges
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane surrounding each lung; the visceral pleura adheres to the lung surface, and the parietal pleura lines the chest wall. The space between them contains pleural fluid, reducing friction during breathing. Pericardium surrounds the heart, peritoneum lines the abdominal cavity, meninges cover the brain and spinal cord.
