GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The skin is an epithelial membrane also called the cutaneous membrane. It is a stratified squamous epithelial membrane resting on top of connective tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -The layers of the skin that constitute the cutaneous membrane are the epidermis, which is the outer layer composed of the epithelial tissues, and the dermis, which is the inner layer composed of the connective tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epidermis, the epithelial layer of skin, is primarily protective. This layer, consisting of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, is tough, relatively impermeable, and self-replacing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cutaneous membrane is another word for our skin. The cutaneous membrane protects the body’s tissues and organs from physical damage. Serous membranes are membranes that lines the cavities in the body and organs such as the heart. Serous membranes secrete a fluid that reduces friction from muscle movement.
