Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of membranes in the body: Membranes are thin layers of tissue that cover surfaces, line cavities, and divide spaces or organs. They can be classified into epithelial membranes (serous, cutaneous, and mucous) and connective tissue membranes (synovial).

Identify the characteristics of epithelial membranes: Serous membranes line body cavities that do not open to the outside and secrete serous fluid. Cutaneous membranes, also known as skin, cover the body surface. Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the outside and secrete mucus.

Recognize the characteristics of connective tissue membranes: Synovial membranes are a type of connective tissue membrane that line the cavities of synovial joints, producing synovial fluid for lubrication.

Differentiate between epithelial and connective tissue membranes: Epithelial membranes are primarily composed of epithelial tissue with an underlying layer of connective tissue, whereas connective tissue membranes, like synovial membranes, are composed solely of connective tissue.

Conclude that the synovial membrane is the connective tissue membrane among the options provided, as it is the only one composed entirely of connective tissue and serves a specific function in joint lubrication.
