Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of membranes in the body: Serous, Synovial, Mucous, and Cutaneous membranes.

Identify the primary tissue composition of each membrane type. For example, serous membranes are typically composed of simple squamous epithelium and a thin layer of areolar connective tissue.

Recognize that synovial membranes are unique because they are composed primarily of loose areolar connective tissue and do not have an epithelial layer.

Compare the tissue composition of synovial membranes with the other types of membranes listed: mucous membranes (which have an epithelial layer and underlying connective tissue) and cutaneous membranes (which are primarily composed of stratified squamous epithelium and dense irregular connective tissue).

Conclude that the synovial membrane is the correct answer as it is the only membrane primarily composed of loose areolar connective tissue.
