MEMBRANES Flashcards
Epithelial tissue with an underlying CT layer
Epithelial Membrane
Sheets of tissue covering/lining a part of the body
Membranes
What supports the epithelium, allows movement and contains the vasculature for epithelium?
CT Base
Membrane lining the body cavity that opens directly to the exterior functions to protect and absorb, containing Goblet cells and tight junctions
Mucous Membrane
Membrane that lines/covers the body cavity that do not open to the exterior and organs within the cavity
Serous Membrane
Serous membrane layer that lines the cavity walls
Parietal Layer
Serous membrane layer that covers and adheres to organs in the cavity
Visceral Layer
Membrane covering the surface of body consisting of a epidermis and dermis layer
Cutaneous Layer
Membrane lining movable joint cavities, made up of a layer of synoviocytes with a CT base
Synovial Membrane
Fluid that lubricates/nourishes joint cartilage, containing macrophages
Synovial Fluid
Cell in the synovial fluid that help fight infections and clean up within the joint cavity
Macrophages
Which membrane with the simple squamous epithelium secretes serous fluid for lubrication?
Serous Membrane
