What is The lining of the body cavities?
Mucous membranes
What is the lining of the body cavities and passages that open to the outside contains mucus and cilia that trap microorganisms and other pathogens and prevent them from entering the body?
The only place that these membranes have cilia is the upper respiratory tract. This upper part is called the mucocillary escalator. It helps to keep the lower tract sterile and remove mucus. You swallow this mucus and microbes and the strong acid in the stomach kills them. There are other openings to the outside, the oral cavity, urogenital canals and the digestive tract at the anus. All have mucus membranes. These protect the underlining tissues and entrap microbes as well.
What is pluera?
Each of a pair of serous membranes lining the thorax and enveloping the lungs
What is lined with mucus -secreting cells called the mucosa?
esophagus Every system that has an outside opening produces mucous. This includes the respiratory, urinary, digestive and urogenital systems. Also the lining of the eye produces mucous. This substance keeps the membranes moist and prevents them from drying out.
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.
Do mucous membranes form a protective lining in the body openings?
true
What is The lining of the body cavities?
Mucous membranes
What are the types of membranes lining cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?
Mucous Membrane
What is the fluid secreted by specialized membranes lining body cavities?
Mucus

The watery fluid that lubricates the membranes forming the inner lining of the thorax is called?
serous fluid
Difficulty in breathing wheezing and swelling of the mucous membranes lining the bronchi are signs of?
bronchial asthma
Endothelium and mesothelium?
Endothelium provides a slick, friction-reducing lining in lymphatic vessels and in all hollow organs of the cardiovascular system- blood vessels and the heart. Mesothelium is the epithelium found in serous membranes, the membranes lining the ventral body cavity and covering its organs.
Stomach lining is protected from the very strong acid of the stomach by what?
The stomach lining is protected from the very strong acid of the stomach by a coat of mucus. It is secreted by mucous membranes.
What gland in found between the rugae and the stomach lining?
between the rugae are gastric pits, which are the openings of the gastric glands
