Mucous membranes
Line all the body cavities that are open to the exterior
- moist membrane

What does the mucous membrane do?
Serves as protection
- keeps things wet so it wont stick
What does the serous membrane do?
Secretes a serous fluid that acts like a lubricant so things can move
- reduces friction

2
- outer and inner layer

- Visceral pleura
2. Parietal pleura
What does the visceral pleura line?
The organs
What does the parietal pleura line?
The cavity walls
