Membrane: sheets of epithelial and connective tissues.
There are 5 types of membranes:
Cutaneous- forms the skin
protects, heat regulation, elimination(waste such as oils and minerals) and enviromental info
Mucous-lines all passageways that lead to the exterior of the boby(secrete a lubricant)
Serous-lines closed cavities and the organs in them(cavity and lungs)
Fibrous-lines all joint cavities(shoulder knee) and covers the outer surface of bones
Fascia-2types..superficial (thin tought membrane that covers muscles beneath the dermis.
deep (covers glands blood vessels and nerves and lies beneath the superficial fascia)

What are the body membranes in the ventral cavity?
The cutaneous and the synovial membranes are not found in the ventral body cavity.
What are the types of membranes lining cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?
Mucous Membrane
Membranes that line body cavities that open directly to the exterior are?
It matters on which cavity of the body it is. For example, for the heart the membrane is the pericardium. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside. examples would be the nose, mouth, respiratory tract, and the anus.
What membranes are called wet membranes?
Mucous membranes or mucosae are "wet" membranes. This is because they are continously bathed by secretions, except the mucous membranes of the urinary tract that is continously bathed with urine. Mucous, serous, and synovial
WhaT one of the major closed body cavities contains connective tissue membranes?
Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
Is a membrane a tissue?
There are four different membranes in the body that are related to tissue; cutaneous membranes, mucosal membranes, synovial membranes, and serous membranes.

What is used to insulate the body and is found in cell membranes?
Lipids store energy, form the membranes around our cells, and insulate our body.

What is The lining of the body cavities?
Mucous membranes
Are to cells as are to your body?
I would guess that membranes are to cells as skin is to your body
What membranes allow some materials to pass while constraining the movement of other molecules.?
Semi permeable membranes as the plasma membranes in cells of our body.
Membranes that line body cavities that open directly to the exterior are?
It matters on which cavity of the body it is. For example, for the heart the membrane is the pericardium. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside. examples would be the nose, mouth, respiratory tract, and the anus.
What is a function that all cell membranes have in common?
Cell membranes all control the activities of of the cell..they are known as the powerhouse of the body because they effect how the body works
What do cell membranes do for the body?
Regulates what goes in and out of the cell. :)
