What is Pleurisy?
Pleurisy is the inflammation of the pleura which is a thin membrane which lines the inside of the chest cavity and also covers the lungs. The two pleural cavities are enclosed compartments, with normally only a film of fluid between the layer lining the chest (parietal pleura) and the layer covering the lungs (visceral pleura). The two layers continually tend to pull away from each other, because of the stretched elastic condition of the lungs -- an important factor in the mechanics of breathing. If the chest wall is penetrated by a wound, air is readily sucked into the pleural cavity, separating the two pleural layers and collapsing the lung. Learn More
