What is the fluid secreted by the specialized membranes that line the body cavities?
Serous fluid is secreted by membranes the line the body cavities, such as the pleura and peritoneum.
Do Serous cavities contain air?
no
What are the three serous-lined cavities?
abdomen
What describes serous cavities?
they are sacs lined with serous membranes that serve as lubricating devices.
What epithelial membrane lines the closed ventral cavities of the body?
serous membrane

What epithelial membrane lines the closed ventral cavities of the body?
serous membrane
What type of membrane provides lubrication to the pleural pericardial and peritoneal cavities?
Serous Membrane
What is the lubricating substance in body cavities?
Serous fluid
WHAT is the difference between visceral and parietal serous membrane?
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
Where in the body do serous membranes occur?
Serous membranes line body cavities that do not open directly to the outside, and they cover the organs located in those cavities. Serous membranes are covered by a thin layer of serous fluid that is secreted by the epithelium. Serous fluid lubricates the membrane and reduces friction and abrasion when organs in the thoracic or abdominopelvic cavity move against each other or the cavity wall. Serous membranes have special names given according to their location. For example, the serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity and covers the lungs is called pleura.
Serous membrane that lines the wall of body cavities?
parietal peritoneum
What membrane lines body cavities and covers the organs found in those cavities?
A serous membrane lines the body cavities and also covers the organs inside the cavities. The upper cells produce the lubricating serous fluid. This fluid has a consistency similar to thin mucus. There is a connective tissue layer that provides the blood vessels and nerves for the overlying secretory cells, and also serves as the binding layer which allows the whole serous membrane to adhere to organs and other structures.
What gland is found in the membrane that lines body cavities?
The glands that are found in membranes that line internal body cavities are serous glands.
