The membrane between the lungs and the muscles of the chest cavity is called the pleura. You have probably heard of the disease 'pleurisy'. When the pleural area gets sick or inflamed it is called pleurisy. Cancer can be formed there too. It is an important part of the lungs because it keeps it moisturized and able to move up and down.
What else can I help you with?
Serosal membrane lining the abdominopelvic cavity by way of the mesentery is called the?
peritoneum
What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?
The serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum produces a fluid that helps to reduce friction between organs during movement.
Membrane surrounding the abdominal cavity?
The membrane that is found in the abdominal cavity is called serous membrane. It composes the visceral and parietal peritoneum and also has extensions called mesenteries, including the greater and lesser omentums.
This type of membrane lines a body cavity that does NOT open directly to the outside?
Serous membrane lines body cavities that do not open to the outside, such as the pleural cavity around the lungs or the peritoneal cavity in the abdomen. These membranes secrete a fluid that helps reduce friction between organs during movement.
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is?
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is called the pleura. It consists of two layers: the visceral pleura attached to the lungs and the parietal pleura lining the thoracic cavity. The pleura produces a small amount of fluid that helps reduce friction during breathing.
What is the muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity in the human body?
That is called the diaphragm.

Serosal membrane lining the abdominopelvic cavity by way of the mesentery is called the?
peritoneum
Tissue that lines the walls of the ventral cavity?
The tissue that lines the walls of the ventral cavity is called the serous membrane or mesothelium. This membrane consists of two layers: the parietal layer which lines the cavity walls, and the visceral layer which covers the organs within the cavity. The serous membrane produces a fluid that reduces friction between internal structures during movement.
What is the epithelial membrane the lines the walls of the abdominal cavity called?
The epithelial membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers: the parietal peritoneum that lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum that covers the abdominal organs.
What is a sac or cavity found between bones in joints are called?
Synovial fluid is contained in the synovial membrane.
What is the serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity?
The serous membrane in the abdominopelvic cavity is called the peritoneum. It consists of two layers - the parietal peritoneum which lines the abdominal wall, and the visceral peritoneum which covers the organs within the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum produces a fluid that helps to reduce friction between organs during movement.
What is the simple squamous epithelium that lines the peritoneal cavity called?
The simple squamous epithelium that lines the peritoneal cavity is called mesothelium. It is a single layer of flat cells that help protect and cushion the organs within the peritoneal cavity.
The is a muscular membrane that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity?
The diaphragm is a dome shaped muscular membrane that separates the abdominal cavity from the thoracic cavity. Its contraction and relaxation serves an important role in respiration.
