Double layered membrane that holds abdominal organs in place?
The Mesentery membrane.
What reinforce the fibrous capsule help to prevent dislocation of the joint?
synovial membrane
Is vesicle single or double membrane?
The vesicle is a single membrane, where a vacuole is a double membrane.
Common features of synovial joints?
Common features:1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.2. Joint cavity.3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.
What do the cell membrane and the nuclear membrane have in common?
They are both double membraned / a double unit membrane
What is the pleural membrane?
The pleural membrane is a double-layered serous membrane found in the thoracic cavity. The outer layer is called the parietal pleura and lines the thoracic wall, and the inner layer is called the visceral pleura and covers the lungs. The membranes produce lubricating serous fluid that causes them to adhere closely to one another. This holds the lungs to the thoracic wall allowing easier movement during breathing.
What are the three main body cavities?
The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), the thoracic cavity (surrounding the lungs and the pericardium, including the heart), and the peritoneal cavity (surrounding the visceral and internal reproductive organs).
What is the double folded membrane that surrounds the lungs?
No. That is the pleural membrane . The pericardium surrounds the heart.
What is the function of the pleura membrane?
Each lung is invested by an exceedingly delicate serous membrane, the pleura, which is arranged in the form of a closed invaginated sac. A portion of the serous membrane covers the surface of the lung and dips into the fissures between its lobes; it is called the pulmonary pleura (or visceral pleura).
Double layered membrane that holds abdominal organs in place?
The Mesentery membrane.
What reinforce the fibrous capsule help to prevent dislocation of the joint?
synovial membrane
Is vesicle single or double membrane?
The vesicle is a single membrane, where a vacuole is a double membrane.
What is pain of the diaphragm?
Pleuralgia or pleurodynia is pain in the pleura, the double membrane that covers the lungs.
What is the space between the breast called?
The pleural cavity is the space between the pleura surrounding the lungs. The pleura is defined as the double folded membrane surrounding the lungs.

What is the medical term meaning pertaining to the membrane surrounding the heart?
The medical term is "pericardial." This term refers to anything related to the pericardium, which is the double-layered membrane that surrounds the heart and holds it in place in the chest cavity.
What is the pleurae pericardium and peritoneum also known as?
I would think you mean, 'pleura'. That is a dlicate membrane that covers the lungs and chest wall. The visceral pleura is what covers the lungs, the parietal pleura covers the chest wall and diaphram. 'pericardium' is a double-layered sac surrounding the heart and large vessels entering and leaving the heart. 'peritoneum' is a serous membrane that covers the entire abdominal wall and envelops the organs contained in the abdomen.
