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: -The mucous membrane is also a composite of connective and epithelial tissues. Sometimes called mucosae, these epithelial membranes line the body cavities and hollow passageways that open to the external environment, and include the digestive, respiratory, excretory, and reproductive tracts.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
