Which Type of Membrane Lines the Ventral Body Cavities

Question

Which type of membrane lines the ventral body cavities?
A) serous
B) cutaneous
C) mucous
D) synovial

Accepted Answer

Serous membranes line the ventral body cavities, such as the thoracic and abdominal cavities. These membranes secrete a lubricating fluid that reduces friction between the organs and their surrounding structures. Cutaneous membranes refer to the skin, mucous membranes line the body's internal tracts that have contact with air, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts, and synovial membranes line the joints.
