Serous Membranes: consist of simple squamous membrane and thin layers of connective tissue. They form the inner linings of thorax and abdomen, and cover the organs within these cavities. 3. Mucous Membrane: consists of epithelium overlying a layer of loose connective tissue. Located in oral and nasal cavities. Connective Tissue Membranes 1. Synovial Membrane: secrete thick and colorless synovial fluid into the joint cavity. Consist of loose connective tissues with elastic fibers and some adipose tissues. |
