What are membranes of the heart?
epicardium, myocardium and endocardium
Which 2 membranes cover the heart and the lung?
Lungs = Two membranes called pleurae (The outer layer of the pleurae is called the parietal pleura and the inner one is called the visceral pleura) Heart = The pericardium
What are three characteristics of cell membranes?

Why is the heart anchored to the diaphragm and what is the function of this anchoring?
The heart is anchored to the diaphragm in order to keep it in place. The diaphragm also reduces friction to the outer membranes of the heart.
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)
Are cell membranes smooth?
Probably because they surround the organs; like the heart for instance.
What are the three different types of body membranes and explain their function?
The three main types of body membranes are mucous membranes, serous membranes, and cutaneous membranes. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the exterior, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts, and they function to protect and lubricate these surfaces with mucus. Serous membranes line closed body cavities and cover organs, producing a lubricating fluid that reduces friction between organs. Cutaneous membranes, or skin, protect the body from external damage, regulate temperature, and provide sensory information.
What are three main membranes?
The three main membranes in the human body are the mucous membrane, serous membrane, and synovial membrane. Mucous membranes line cavities that are open to the external environment, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts. Serous membranes line closed body cavities and cover organs, reducing friction between them. Synovial membranes surround joints, producing synovial fluid to lubricate and cushion the joint.
How many membranes does the brain have?
The brain only have 3 different membranes.
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
How many membranes protect the brain?
The three membranes that protect the brain (meninges) are: 1) dura mater 2) arachnoid 3) pia mater
What meninges are affected by meningitis?
The membranes that are affected by meningitis are known as meninges. This refers to three membranes namely the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.
