What lines cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?
Mucous Membrane
What is the function of the mucous membrane of the human body?
The mucous membrane lines all body cavities that open to the exterior, such as those of hollow organs of the respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts.
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)
Serous membrane that lines the wall of body cavities?
parietal peritoneum
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.

Which membrane lines cavities that communicate with the exterior of the body?
mucous membranes
What lines the nasal cavities?
The nasal mucous membrane lines the nasal cavities.
What is the general function of mucous membrane?
The mucous membrane is epithelium. It lines the passageways and chambers that communicate with the exterior. The exterior is known as digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary tracts.
Which type of membrane lines joint cavities?
Synovial membrane.
Which type of membrane lines the nasal passage?
Mucous

What epithelial membrane lines the closed ventral cavities of the body?
serous 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 type of epithelial tissue lines the respiratory tract?
Any body area that has an outlet to the out side is covered in a mucous membrane: respiratory tact. digestive tract, urinary tract, even the membrane that surrounds the orbit of the eye (eye ball).
Serous membrane that lines the wall of body cavities?
parietal peritoneum
