Mucous Membranes, Serous Membranes, Synovial Membranes, Meninges, and Cutaneous MembraneWhat are five types of membranes?
These line the interior walls of the organs and tubes opening to the outside of the body, such as those of the digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems.Mucous membranes
What membranes are lined with epithelium and are involved in absorption and secretion?Mucous membranes

rests on a third layer of smooth muscle cellslamina propria
Does all membranes secret mucous?No; not every mucous membrane secretes mucus
these line cavities, including the thoracic and internal organs; (eg heart). They consist of a layer of simple squamous epithelium overlaying a layer of loose connective tissue.Serous Membrane
What membrane supports internal organs and compartmentalizes the large cavities to hinder spread of infection?Serous membranes
The serous membranes are named according to what?organ associations
In the serous membrane what are lungs covered by?pleura
In the serous membrane; what is the heart covered by?pericardium

are composed of three consecutive tissue membranes found within the dorsal cavity and serve as a protective covering of the brain and spinal cord.Meninges
the (what) from outer layer to inside later are dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater?meninges
The membrane forms the outer covering of the body and consists of a thin outer layer of stratified squamous epithelium attaches to a thicker underlying layer of connective tissue.Cutaneous membrane
is skincutaneous membrane
