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 are the types of membranes lining cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?

The types of membranes lining cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body are mucous membranes. These membranes are found in areas such as the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts, and they secrete mucus to protect and lubricate the tissues.

Mucous Membrane


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.


What are the membranes that line the body cavities that open to the exterior of the body?

The membranes that line body cavities open to the exterior are called mucous membranes. They are made up of epithelial tissue and are found in areas like the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts. Mucous membranes help protect the body by secreting mucus and trapping pathogens.

Do mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the surface?

True. Mucous membrane are composed of epithelial cell resting on a lyer of loose connective tissue called the lamina proparia. They linine all body cavities that open to the body exterior- the respiratory.


Do parietal membranes cover the surface of organs?

No, parietal membranes do not cover the surface of organs. Parietal membranes line the body cavities, while visceral membranes cover the surface of organs within those cavities.


What gland is found in the membrane that lines body cavities?

The glands that are found in membranes that line internal body cavities are serous glands.


What are the types of connective tissue membranes?

The types of connective tissue membranes are synovial membranes, serous membranes, and mucous membranes. Synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid, serous membranes line body cavities closed to the outside and secrete serous fluid, and mucous membranes line surfaces open to the exterior and produce mucus.


What is the fluid secreted by specialized membranes lining body cavities?

Pleura are examples of which type of membrane?

Pleura are examples of serous membranes, which are thin membranes that line body cavities not directly open to the outside of the body. They consist of two layers - parietal (lining the cavity walls) and visceral (covering the organs).
