Answer 1

Visceral pleura

Explanation:

The portion of the serous membrane that covers and adheres to the lung is called visceral pleura

• Pleura are the pair of membranous linings surrounding the lungs
• The visceral pleura covers each lung surface, and the parietal pleura covers the inner surface of the thoracic cavity
• The visceral pleura is a delicate membrane which dips into the fissures between the lobes of the lung
• Pleura allows the lungs to move inside the body cavity without friction as friction would cause damage to the lungs and the tissue in the chest wall
