Answer 1

body membranes

Question 2

what are the two major categories of body membranes?

Answer 2

Epithelial Membranes
Connective Tissue Membranes

Question 3

Cutaneous Membrane
 Skin (cover the entire body)
 Superficial epidermis composed of keratinizing stratified squamous epithelium
 Exposed to air , thus, is a dry membrane

Question 7

Serous Membrane (serosa)
 Simple squamous epithelium resting on thin areolar connective tissue.
 the serous layers are separated not by air but by a scanty amount of thin, clear fluid, called serous fluid

Question 10

cutaneous membrane or also known as the skin covers the body surface

Question 11

Mucous membranes line body cavities open to the exterior
- Mucosa of nasal cavity
- Mucosa of mouth
- Esophagus lining
- Mucosa of lung bronchi

Answer 11

mucous membrane

Question 12

CONNECTIVE TISSUE MEMBRANES
- Composed of soft areolar connective tissue and contain no epithelial cells at all. It lines the fibrous capsules surrounding joints.

Answer 12

Synovial Membranes
