Which of the Following is Most Related to Mucous Membrane

Question

Which of the following is most related to mucous membrane?
A) Forms the dermis
B) Lines all the body cavities that open to the exterior of the body
C) Is also called the skin
D) Is the same as the epidermis

Accepted Answer

Mucous membrane (also called mucosa) lines all the body cavities that open to the exterior of the body, such as the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts. The dermis is a layer of skin beneath the epidermis, but it is not related to mucous membranes. The skin is another term for the integumentary system, which includes both the dermis and epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of skin, but it does not line body cavities.
