Membranes
1. Thin sheet-like layer of tissue that covers a cell, organ or other structure
2. Lines tubes or body cavities
3. Separates one body part from another
Types of membranes
1. Epithelial membrane
2. Connective tissue membrane
Epithelial membrane
Layered with epithelial tissue on top of connective tissue
Types of Epithelial membrane
1. Mucous membrane
2. Serous membrane
3. Cutaneous membrane
Mucous membrane
Lines body cavities or organs OPEN to the exterior
(Nose, ears, larynx)
Serous membrane
-Lines body cavities or organs CLOSED to the exterior (Abdominal cavity)
-Produces serum to lubricate
Cutaneous membrane
Skin
Connective tissue membranes
Synovial membranes
Tissue repair
-Epithelial
-Connective
(greatest capacity to heal[Regeneration])

-Muscular
-Nervous
(Least capacity to heal[Degeneration])
