Detailed explanation-3: -Serous membranes are made of a specialized tissue type called the mesothelium. Two layers of mesothelial cells attached by a thin layer of connective tissue form the serous membranes of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The abdominopelvic cavity is lined with a serous membrane called the peritoneum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The serous membrane that covers internal organs is called a visceral membrane; while the one that covers the cavity wall is called the parietal membrane. Between the two opposing serosal surfaces is often a potential space, mostly empty except for the small amount of serous fluid.
