Question

What type of membrane provides lubrication to the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities?

Answer 1

Answer;

-Serous membrane

Explanation;

-Serous membranes are thin membranes that lines the internal body cavities and organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdominal cavity. The thin membrane is made up of mesothelium tissue which originates from the mesoderm.

-These membranes consists of a single layer of flattened mesothelial cells applied to the surface of a thin layer of collagenous tissue that attaches to underlying endothoracic/transversalis fascia. They function to preclude adhesions among organs, thereby allowing organs to move freely relative to one another.
