    1. Respiration involves the coordinated movement of the thorax (chest wall) and lungs. 2. Between the layers of pleura surrounding the lungs and chest wall is a fluid called pleural fluid, which acts as a lubricant allowing the pleural layers to move smoothly against each other. 3. During inhalation, the elastic chest wall expands outward due to its natural tendency, and the elastic lungs expand inward due to the negative pressure created in the pleural cavity pulling the visceral pleura inward.

    Basics
    Thorax - has got 2 elastic struchures Between 2Loyers of pleura we hove got fluld colled
    pleurat fluid whlch acts as a ubricant.
    Parletal pleura is pulled out and viscera. pleura is
    Lungs Chest walL pulled in.
    Oppostte movement of pleural membranes wll make
    pleural cavity to have negative pressure.
