👉 Tons fluid, also known as pleural fluid, is a clear, colorless liquid found in the spaces between the lungs and the chest wall, specifically within the pleural cavity. This fluid plays a crucial role in lubricating the lung's surface as it moves with the chest during breathing, reducing friction and preventing damage. It also helps maintain the negative pressure within the pleural cavity, which is essential for keeping the lungs inflated and expanding during inhalation. The balance of this fluid, along with its exchange with the interstitial fluid in the lung tissue, is vital for proper respiratory function. Any imbalance can lead to conditions like pleural effusion or pneumothorax, affecting breathing and lung health.
