Where is ciliated columnar epithelium found?
Ciliated epithelium is located in the lining of most body cavities. Some of the cavities that have ciliated epithelium are the lungs, trachea, and nose. Ciliated epithelium serves to keep dust and debris out of the lungs and control the flow of mucus.
What is the basic function of a Mesothelial cell?
The basic function of a Mesothelial cell is to act as a lining for body cavities. This type of cell helps seal fluids in these cavities and keep unwanted materials away.
Which type of Epithelial Membrane lines all human body cavities that are exposed to the outside of the body?
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.
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.
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.
What type of tissue is the main tissue in the skin and the lining of body cavities?
In general, they are epithelial tissues which are in the skin and line body cavities.
What is the fluid secreted by specialized membranes lining body cavities?
Mucus
Mesothelium is to the linings of the body cavities as endothelium is to the lining of the?
Mesothelium and endothelium are types of epithelium tissue. Mesothelium lines the body cavities and endothelium lines primarily the circulatory system.

What are the types of membranes lining cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?
Mucous Membrane

What activity is the mesothelium membrane in the human body involved in?
In the human body, the mesothelium membrane is involved in lining several body cavities, including the thoracic cavity, the abdominal cavity, and the heart sac.
What cavities of the body can you name?
What cavities of the body can you name?
What type of epithelium is found lining internal body compartments and blood vessels?
These are usually simple squamous epithelial cells. The epithelium lining the body cavities is called the mesothelium and is where the cancer mesothelioma arises from. The epithelium lining arteries and veins is called endothelium.
What are the major body cavities?
ventral and dorsal body cavities are the major two for the body.
What is the body cavities and how are they used in health care?
Body cavities are internal cavities in the body with an external entrance. In health there are different reasons to examine body cavities. In law enforcement there are different reasons. Searching for things mainly.
