Question

The ________ is the membrane that covers the internal organs.
A) parietal serosa
B) visceral serosa
C) mucous membrane
D) cutaneous membrane
E) serous membrane

Accepted Answer

The visceral serosa is the membrane that covers the internal organs. The parietal serosa is the membrane that lines the body cavities, while the mucous membrane lines the openings to the outside world (such as the respiratory and digestive tracts). The cutaneous membrane is another term for the skin. The term "serous membrane" refers to both the visceral and parietal serosa.
