What is the scientific name for a lung cover?

The scientific name for the lung cover is the pleura. The pleura is a double-layered serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity and covers the lungs. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura, which is in direct contact with the lungs, and the parietal pleura, which lines the thoracic cavity. The pleural cavity is the space between the visceral and parietal pleurae, and it contains a small amount of fluid that helps to lubricate the lungs and allow them to expand and contract.
