Cutaneous membrane: the skin, an organ system consisting of a keratinized stratified epithelium firmly attached to a thick layer of dense connective tissue. Exposed to air and is a dry membrane
Mucous membrane: line body cavities that open to the exterior, such as the hollow organs of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts. They’re moist membranes bathed by secretions. Epithelial sheet is underlain by loose connective tissue called lamina propria.
Serous membranes: moist membranes found in closed ventral body cavities, consists of simple squamous epithelium resting on a thin layer of loose connective tissue.
