What is a serous membrane?

serous membranes line the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities and cover visceral organs. they are composed of thin sheets of epethelial tissue that lubricate, support, and compartmentalize visceral organs. serous fluid is the watery lubricant they secrete.


What are the membranes in the body?

novanet.. Membrane: sheets of epithelial and connective tissues. There are 5 types of membranes: Cutaneous- forms the skin protects, heat regulation, elimination(waste such as oils and minerals) and enviromental info Mucous-lines all passageways that lead to the exterior of the boby(secrete a lubricant) Serous-lines closed cavities and the organs in them(cavity and lungs) Fibrous-lines all joint cavities(shoulder knee) and covers the outer surface of bones Fascia-2types..superficial (thin tought membrane that covers muscles beneath the dermis. deep (covers glands blood vessels and nerves and lies beneath the superficial fascia)


What are double sheets of peritoneal membrane that suspend the visceral organs and carry nerves lymphatics and blood vessels?

The double sheets of peritoneal membrane that suspend the visceral organs and carry nerves, lymphatics, and blood vessels are known as mesentery. The mesentery provides support and allows for the movement of these structures within the abdominal cavity. It also plays a role in the transport of blood and lymph to and from the organs.


Does epithelial tissue have a basement membrane?

No. All epithelial sheets rest upon and are supported by connective tissue Just deep to the basal lamina is the reticular lamina a layer of extracellular material containing a fine network of collagen protein fiber that belongs to the underlying connective tissue. Together the two laminae form the basement membrane.


What role do lipids play in the cell membrane?

Lipids are insoluable, fatty materials the cell can either use to construct membranes from or use as a source of energy in the form of fat. Cell membranes are double sheets of phospholipids. The water attracting phosphate groups coat the inside and outside of the membrane with the fatty lipid groups sandwiched between. These membranes can form small compartments inside cells known as vacoules. Some vacoules store lipids as an energy source. The best example is the yolk of an egg.

What are The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera called?

The double layer sheets of serous membrane that support the viscera are called mesenteries. Mesenteries hold organs in place within the abdominal cavity and provide a pathway for blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics to reach the organs.
