The video tutorial explains the anatomy and function of pleural membranes, including the parietal and visceral pleura. It covers the concept of hydrostatic pressure and how it helps reduce friction between the pleura. The tutorial also details the different types of parietal pleura and their specific locations, such as costal, diaphragmatic, mediastinal, and cervical. Additionally, it discusses the costodiaphragmatic recess and its significance during lung expansion. Finally, the video addresses the innervation of pleural membranes, highlighting the roles of intercostal and phrenic nerves.

How does the visceral pleura differ from the parietal pleura in terms of innervation?

What happens to the pleural membranes during inhalation and exhalation?
