What tissue type functions in the formation of membranes and glands?
dense fibrous connective tissue
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 forms a thin serous membrane a single layer of flattened cells?
The serous membranes are formed by mesothelium cells. This layer secretes a liquid that reduces friction in cavities such as the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium.
WhaT one of the major closed body cavities contains connective tissue membranes?
Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
What kind of tissue makes up the epicardium. Why?
epicardium makes that connective tissue that is called fibrous and serous
Is a membrane a tissue?
There are four different membranes in the body that are related to tissue; cutaneous membranes, mucosal membranes, synovial membranes, and serous membranes.
What membranes consist of epithelial tissue and loose connective tissue?
serous, mucous, synovial
What is a tissue membrane?
Since cell membrane encloses a cell and regulates in and out functions of a cell, similarly a tissue membrane regulates in and out functions of a tissue.
What tissue type functions in the formation of membranes and glands?
dense fibrous connective tissue
What does the areolar tissue do in the lungs?
Areolar tissue in the lungs forms part of the lamina propria, an underlayer of the serous membranes (pleura) of the lungs.

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.
The mesothelium is also called what?
Serous tissue
WhaT one of the major closed body cavities contains connective tissue membranes?
Cranial cavity - serous membranes dorsal cavity = the back ventral cavity - has the thoracic cavity which contains the lungs(parietal pleura and visceral pleura membranes) and the heart (parietal pericardium and visceral pericardium membranes), the abdominal cavity (parietal peritoneum and visceral peritoneum membranes) and the pelvic cavity which is also peritoneum membranes)
What is serous tissue?
It is the tissue that lines the great cavities of the body that have no openings to the outside. Aneisha
What kind of tissue makes up the epicardium. Why?
epicardium makes that connective tissue that is called fibrous and serous
