The skin
Mucous membranes are membranes that…?
Line the cavities and
tubes that open to the outside of the body.
What are the characteristics of connective tissue?
Most prevelent in body, does not open to a lumen, vascularity varies, lacks cellularity, and contains ground substance
Serous membranes are membranes that…?
line the body cavities that do not open to the outside and reduce friction between the organs and cavity walls
