To review:
Whether the following statements are true or false. False statements are to be corrected.
a. Mucous membranes are composed of mesothelium and the underlying loose connective tissue.
b. Mesothelial cells secrete mucus.
c. Synoviocytes are the secretory cells of mucosae.
d. The cutaneous membrane is composed of simple squamous epithelium, loose connective tissue, and dense irregular connective tissue.
e. Serous membranes line all hollow organs that open to the outside of the body.
Introduction:
The membrane is made up one or more layers which help in making the lining of the body surface and body cavity. There are four types of membranes which are found in human beings. These are serous, synovial, mucous, and cutaneous.
