Verified step by step guidance

Understand that tissue membranes are thin layers of cells that cover surfaces, line body cavities, and divide spaces or organs.

Identify the three major types of tissue membranes in the human body: cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes.

Cutaneous membranes refer to the skin, which covers the body surface and protects underlying tissues.

Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the exterior, such as the digestive and respiratory tracts, and are involved in absorption and secretion.

Serous membranes line closed internal body cavities and produce serous fluid to reduce friction between organs, such as the pleura around the lungs and the pericardium around the heart.
