Mucous Membrane
Mucous Membrane
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.
parietal peritoneum
Mesothelium and endothelium are types of epithelium tissue. Mesothelium lines the body cavities and endothelium lines primarily the circulatory system.

Epithelial tissue lines bodily cavities/surfaces.
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.
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.
The glands that are found in membranes that line internal body cavities are serous glands.

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.
