Membrane

They are more than one kind of tissue. They are usually a tough layer of connective tissue overlaid with epithelial or lubricating mucus/serous fluid producing cells. They are thin sheets of tissue that cover the body, line body cavities, and cover organs within the cavities in hollow organs.

• Membranes

• Functions of body membranes

• Four types of epithelial membranes

• Two types of body membranes

1. Boundaries - Cover surfaces

2. Support- Lines body cavities

3. Cushioning- Forms protective sheets around organs

4. Lubrication- Secretion, absorption and lubrication

• Two types of body membranes

The skin; composed of epidermal and dermal layers

• Serous membrane

• Mucous membrane

• 3 P's of serous membrane

• Cutaneous membrane

Membrane that secretes mucus that lubricates the surface of organs and keeps them moist.

• Serous membrane

• Mucous membrane

• 3 P's of serous membrane

• Cutaneous membrane

thin layer of tissue that covers internal body cavities and secretes a fluid that keeps the membrane moist; reduces friction

• Serous membrane

• Mucous membrane

• 3 P's of serous membrane

• Cutaneous membrane

Pleural, pericardial and peritoneal

• Serous membrane

• Mucous membrane

• 3 P's of serous membrane

• Cutaneous membrane

It is a membranous sac around the lung cavity

• synovial membrane

• Pleura

• Pericardium

• Peritoneum

It is a membranous sac around the heart

• synovial membrane

• Pleura

• Pericardium

• Peritoneum
