Viscera
40
Distinguish between serous membrane(s) and mucous membrane(s)

A mucous membrane is a membrane that lines a body cavity that does open to the exterior.
41
Distinguish between visceral layer and parietal layer of visceral serous membranes.
The visceral layer, next to the viscera (viscera being equivalent to the fist in the analogy)
The parietal layer, lining the wall of the cavity (wall of the cavity being equivalent to the inside of the box in the analogy
