Body Membranes
How are Body Membranes Classified?
According to Tissue Types
you can also call the Cutaneous Membrane this...
Skin Membrane
What is the function of mucous membranes?
Absorption or Secretion
What is the surface of skin that layers serous membranes?
Simple Squamous epithelium
T/F: The epidermis is avascular and is the outer layer
True
What is the function of Body Membranes?
1.) Cover Body Surfaces
2.) Line Body Cavities
3.) Form Protective sheets around Organs
Is the cutaneous membrane considered to be inner,Middle, or outermost protective boundary?
Outermost protective boundary
What does the surface epithelium type in mucous membranes depend on?
the site where it is found
What body cavities are lined by Serous Membranes?
What fibers are located within the Dermis?
Collagen & Elastic
What are the 2 Types of Body Membranes?
1.) Epithelial Membranes
2.) Connective Tissue Membranes
What is the Superficial Epidermis composed of?
Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
What are the two types of surface epithelium found within mucous membranes?
Stratified Squamous epithelium & Simple Columnar epithelium
Serous membranes often occur in pairs separated by serous fluid... What are those two layers?
Visceral Layer & Parietal Layer
Name the 3 Skin Determinants that can change your skins Color (Not alterations that shift the skin colors and goes back to normal)
Melanin, Carotene, and Hemoglobin
Name the 3 Types of Epithelial Membranes
1.) Cutaneous Membranes
2.) Mucous Membranes
3.) Serous Membranes
Dermis is composed of mostly what?
Dense Connective Tissue
Mucous membranes Line what body cavities?
All body cavities that open to the exterior body surface
What does the Visceral layer cover as a serous membrane?
Covers the outside of the organ
Name the layers of the Skin in order
Stratum Basale: (Deepest layer), Stratum Spinosum, Stratum Granulosum, Stratum Lucidum, Stratum Corneum(Top layer)
Name the Connective Tissue Membrane and an example of one
Synovial Membrane
Ex: Joints- Knee/Arm-shoulder or elbow/Hip
Explain what Keratin is and does for the skin?
Keratin is a dense/Thick protein that helps keep skin waterproof and helps keep it firm.
Name an example of where you can find mucous membranes.
Eyes, Nose, Ears, Mouth, Esophagus, Digestive Tract....
What does the Parietal layer line/cover as a serous membrane?
lines a portion of the wall of the Ventral body cavity
Name the 3 specific serous membranes and location?
Peritoneum-abdominal cavity (stomach,intestines,inside wall of the Abdominal cavity)
Pleura- around the lungs
Pericardium- around the heart
