These membranes are called serous membranes as they produce a thin slippery fluid.
Endosteum
Serous fluid is secreted by membranes the line the body cavities, such as the pleura and peritoneum.
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
The glands that are found in membranes that line internal body cavities are serous glands.
Mucous Membranes is wrong... it is actually Serous Membranes - because they line the sealed, internal subdivisions of the ventral body cavity - cavities that are not open to the exterior. Face! In responce to whoever wrote what is above the question asks what membrane composed of epithelial tissue line cavities that OPEN to the OUTSIDE. It is the mucous membranes for following reasons: body membranes are formed by epithelial tissue and have an underlying layer of connective tissue. mucous membranes produce mucous that lubricates organs, trap dirt and debris, and keeps cavities from drying out. Mucous membranes line cavities that open out to the exterior, such as the nose, mouth, respirtory tract and anus. Serous membranes can be found lining the body cavities that do NOT open to the exterior.
in joint cavities.
There are Mucosa Membranes that line both the oral and nasal cavities. Mucous makes up these membranes.
Serous fluid is secreted by membranes the line the body cavities, such as the pleura and peritoneum.
Visceral serous membranes line organs. Parietal serous membranes line cavities.
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.

Mucous membranes
Parietal serous membranes line cavities of the body. The Parietal serosa lines a specific portion of the interior cavity in the body.
The name of the membrane surrounding the joints is called synovial membrane.
