Skin and Body Membranes

Question 1

Adapted for absorption or secretions.

Answer 1

Mucous Membrane

allows the organs to slide easily across the cavity walls and one another without friction as they carry out their functions

Answer 2

SEREOUS FLUID

Question 3

also called covering and lining membranes

also known as (mucosa)

Answer 4

Mucous Membrane

also known as (serosa)

Answer 5

Serous Membrane

Question 6

also line small sacs of connective tissue bursae and the tube-like tendon sheaths.

Answer 6

Synovial Membranes

Question 7

always combined with an underlying layer of connective tissue, although they all do contain an epithelial sheet

Answer 7

Epithelial Membranes

Question 8

both of these structures cushions organs moving against each other during muscle activity – movement of tendon across the bone’s surface.

Answer 8

Synovial Membranes

Question 9

composed of 2 layers, superficial epidermis and underlying dermis

Answer 21

Body Membranes

Question 22

LAYERS OF SEROSA

Answer 22

Parietal Layer
Visceral Layer

Question 23

line fibrous capsules surrounding the joints, providing a smooth surface and a lubricating fluid.

Answer 24

Mucous Membrane

Question 25

lines body cavities close to the exterior (except the dorsal and joint cavities).

Answer 25

Serous Membrane

Question 26

lines of the wall of the ventral activity. Folds in on itself to form the visceral layer which covers the outside of the organs in that cavity

LOCATIONS of Connective Tissue Membranes

Answer 27

1. Joint Capsule 2. Bursa 3. Tendon Sheath

Question 28

most membranes – mostly bathed in secretions

Answer 28

Mucous Membrane

Serous Membrane

Question 31

parts of cutaneous membrane

Answer 31

Epidermis Dermis

refers only to the location of the epithelial membranes NOT their cellular make-up.

Answer 32

Mucosa

Question 33

serosa lining abdominal cavity covering its organs

Answer 33

Peritoneum

Question 34

serous layers are separated by a clear fluid serous fluid that is secreted by both membranes.

Answer 34

Serous Membrane

Question 35

specific names of serous membranes depend on their locations
