Verified step by step guidance

Understand the context: The integumentary system includes the skin and its appendages, and it serves as a barrier to protect the body from the outside world.

Identify the types of membranes: The four main types of membranes in the body are mucous, synovial, serous, and cutaneous membranes.

Define each membrane type: Mucous membranes line body cavities that open to the exterior and secrete mucus. Synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid. Serous membranes line closed internal body cavities and produce serous fluid. Cutaneous membranes refer to the skin.

Focus on the characteristic: The problem asks for a membrane with a 'gelatinous consistency.' This typically refers to a membrane that produces a thick, viscous fluid.

Match the characteristic to the membrane: Synovial membranes produce synovial fluid, which is gelatinous and lubricates joints, fitting the description provided in the problem.
