Dr. Evey,

I've looked around at multiple sources, but I'm having a hard time finding an answer to a question I've been wondering about... Namely, I was wondering if the visceral pleura on the lungs, like the parietal pleura throughout the thorax which forms (with the visceral pleura) the pleural cavity, has both serous and fibrous layers. Given what we saw today in lab, I would imagine not, but I wanted to check and be sure before making any sort of assumption.

If you could help make this clearer, I'd very much appreciate it!

Thanks
