The human body is amazing on its own but when you look at every square inch, deeply, you begin to see miraculous inner workings that boggle the mind. How can so many systems and subsystems work together so flawlessly without compromising each other's tasks is truly the enigmatic clockwork of evolution at it's most mysterious and majestical...and to think of the millions of micro actions and neuron firings taking place just for me to type this......insane!

Exactly the information I needed. I was looking to discover the pleura's connection to the lymphatic system. I believe that the pleura's function, other than lubrication, is as a filtering system. Maybe this is already known, i'm just a layman.
