How do organs in the ventral body benefit by being surrounded by double-layered membranes instead of single-layered membranes?
The main reason is for fluidity and ease of friction in the ventral cavity. double sacs provide protection and allow for the organs to move/slide easier with one another.
What is the fluid secreted by the specialized membranes that line the body cavities?

What serous membrane surrounds the stomach?
