GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mucous membranes are epithelial membranes that consist of epithelial tissue that is attached to an underlying loose connective tissue. These membranes, sometimes called mucosae, line the body cavities that open to the outside. The entire digestive tract is lined with mucous membranes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that protect and line the joints. Epithelial membranes are formed from epithelial tissue attached to a layer of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial Membranes Mucous, produced by the epithelial exocrine glands, covers the epithelial layer. The underlying connective tissue, called the lamina propria (literally “own layer”), help support the fragile epithelial layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The other end of an epithelial tissue (the basal surface) is attached to a basement membrane that is partly produced by the epithelial cells. Underlying the basement membrane are connective tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Membranes are layers of connective and epithelial tissues that line the external environment and internal body cavities of the body. Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that protect and line the freely-movable joints. Epithelial membranes are composed of both epithelial tissue and connective tissue.
