Membrane Structure
These types of tissues make up serous membranes.
Simple squamous (overlying connective tissue)
This type of membrane protects the body physically and chemically. Goblet cells can be found here.
Mucous Membranes
Found within the dorsal cavity.
Meninges membrane.
This type of tissue allows for simple diffusion in areas where substances are absorbed or released.
These fibers are the thickest and strongest that can be found in the extracellular matrix.
Collagen Fibers
This type of tissue makes up synovial membranes.
Connective
This type of membrane forms a protective covering for the brain and spinal cord.
Meninges membrane.
Cutaneous membrane.
This type of tissue appears layered, but each cell comes into contact with the basement membrane. Found in the respiratory tract.
Pseudostratified Ciliated Columnar Epithelium.
This type of tissue has energy storage, shock absorption, and thermal insulation functions.
Adipose Tissue
These types of tissues make up mucous membranes.
Epithelium (overlying connective tissue)
This type of membrane protects against pathogens, waterproofs the body, and synthesizes vitamin D.
Cutaneous Membrane
These line the walls of the organs and tubes that open to the outside of the body such as the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts.
Mucous Membranes
This type of tissue makes up the urinary bladder and the cells can appear round or flattened depending on how much they are stretched.
Transitional Epithelium
This type of tissue has a smooth surface and connects the ribs to the sternum.
Hyaline Cartilage
This type of tissue makes up meninges membranes.
Connective
This type of membrane secretes a fluid that lubricates the ends of long bones so they can move freely.
Synovial Membrane
These line freely movable joint cavities.
Synovial Membranes
This type of tissue has layers of flattened cells and can be found in areas like the mouth and skin.
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
This type of tissue transports oxygen, nutrients, and hormones around the body.
Blood (fluid connective tissue)
These types of tissues make up cutaneous membranes.
Keratinized stratified squamous (overlying connective tissue)
This type of membrane secretes a watery fluid that lubricates the internal organs. It supports internal organs and compartmentalizes the large thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities.
Serous membrane
These line cavities, including the thoracic and abdominopelvic, and cover internal organs.
Serous membranes.
These tissues can secrete and absorb materials and are found in areas like the kidneys and pancreas.
Simple Cuboidal Epithelium
This type of tissue contains a high amount of collagen fibers and resists tension forces. An example is tendons.
Dense Regular Connective Tissue
