What is the role of the serous membranes covering some organs?
to prevent friction between the organ and body cavity wall
What serous membrane surrounds the stomach?
The visceral segment of the serous membranes encases the internal organs while the parietal segment is responsible for lining the body wall. Serous membranes which care for the needs of the lungs are known as pleurae while the serous membranes which care for the abdominal cavity are known as peritoneum, but are also referred to as peritoneal membranes.
What is the layer that lines a cavity wall?
serous membrane
This type of membrane lines a body cavity that does NOT open directly to the outside?
Serous membraneA serous membrane also called the serosa is the type of membrane that lines cavities that do not open to the outside of the body.
Serosal membrane lining the abdominopelvic cavity by way of the mesentery is called the?
peritoneum
What covers the abdominopelvic organs like a blanket?
The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity.

What does the parietal peritoneum cover?
it is in the abdominopelvic cavity
What is the membrane that protect the dorsal cavity?
The serous membrane lines the ventral body cavity.

peritoneum
Is the thoracic cavity is distal to the abdominopelvic cavity?
The thoracic cavity is superior to the abdominopelvic cavity.
The parietal pleural represents a serous membrane?
yes, the parietal pleura is a serous membrane. So is the visceral pleura for that matter, and the peritoneum as well.
Is the visceral pericardium a serous membrane?
Yes, each serous membrane forms an inner visceral layer that covers the organs in the cavity. And the visceral pericardium is a serosa membrane associated with the heart.
