9201910605 | serous membrane | Line body cavities that lack openings to the outside. Form inner linings of thorax and abdomen. Layers of simple squamous epithelium and loose connective tissue. Secretes Serous fluid that lubricates the surface of the membrane. | 1 | |
9201910606 | mucous membrane | Secretes mucous that keeps the cell moist and elastic. Lines body cavities that open to the outside of the body. Consists of epithelial tissues overlying loose connective tissue. Oral cavity, nasal cavity. | 2 | |
9201910607 | cutaneous membrane | Skin | 3 | |
9201910608 | synovial membrane | The lining of a joint that secretes synovial fluid into the joint space. Consists of fibrous connective tissue, loose connective tissue and adipose. | 4 | |
9201910609 | Functions of skin | Protection, regulation of body temp, prevents water loss from deeper tissues, location of sensory receptors. Synthesizes various chemicals. Excretes small amounts of waste substances. | 5 | |
