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.

Where is the cell membrane on a ciliated epithelial cell?
Well, the cell membrane is on the outside of a cell. So that is the answer , on the outside of the cell, protecting the inner part.
Can the epithelial tissues be called semipermeable membrane?
Yes, a semipermeable membrane selectively allows chemicals to be absorbed into the body. Epithelial tissue covers all parts of the body that has contact to the the outside environment including the gastric tract. One prime example of semipermeable epithelial tissue of the body is the tissue of the intestines which has folds exactly for the purpose of absorbing food.
Which component of cell membranes are embedded within the membrane and are exposed to both the inside and the outside of the cell?
Trans-membrane proteins that can be used for active or passive transport of material into and out of the cell.
What is the function of the pleura membrane in a pig?
The pleural cavity (with an outside pleural membrane) surrounds both the pleural and pericardial cavities. The fetal pig tissues are thin and easily cut. The parietal pleura is a serous membrane which surrounds the lungs. It is like a thin film, and can be somewhat difficult to remove and isolate. The parietal pleura is on the thoracic cavity wall.
How are the two sides of the cell membrane different?
1. The two lipid layers may differ in specific lipid composition, and each protein has directional orientation in the membrane. The plasma membrane also has carbohydrates, which are restricted to the exterior surface. This asymmetrical distribution of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates is determined as the membrane is being built by the ER end up on the outside face of the plasma 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.

Membranes that line body cavities that open directly to the exterior are?
It matters on which cavity of the body it is. For example, for the heart the membrane is the pericardium. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside. examples would be the nose, mouth, respiratory tract, and the anus.
What is the Salty Baby disorder?
Perhaps cystic fibrosis?Cystic Fibrosis-- Final answer. CFTR channels malfunction and Chloride cannot exchange with bicarb at the epithelial surfaces exposed to the environment. Chloride then gets stuck outside the environment.

What are the membranes that line the body cavities that open to the exterior of the body?
mucous membraneMucous membranes line the body cavities that open directly to the exterior.a. Mucous membraneSerosaThe type of epithelial tissue lining the inside of an organ is called Simple columnar epithelium while the type of epithelia that lines the outside (exterior) of the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory tracts is called stratified cuboidal epithelium.
Four types of membranes and their locations?
The four types of membranes are: 1) cutaneous membranes; 2) serous membranes; 3) mucous membranes; and 4) synovial membranes. Mucous membranes are tissues that line body cavities or canals such as the throat, nose, mouth, urethra, rectum, and vagina. Serous membranes line body cavities (peritoneum) and surround organs such as the lung (pleura) and heart (pericardium). The cutaneous membrane is the skin. This membrane is composed of a layer of epithelium over a layer of connective tissue. Synovial membrane is a layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid sacs) and makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.
What is the outside of a cell call?
Cell membrane
Where can you find cavities?
You can find cavities in many places, here are a few examples. Cavities can be found in teeth, they are found between the outside wall and inside wall of a building and they can be found in natural rock formations.
