ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
Mucous and Serous Membranes. A membrane is a thin layer of tissue that forms a boundary, usually serving some type of barrier function. Mucous membranes line the body cavities and passages that open to the outside world, such as the respiratory, digestive, and reproductive tracts, and produce a viscous secretion called mucus. On the other hand, serous membranes line closed body cavities, like those surrounding the lungs and heart, and produce a thinner, more watery secretion known as serous fluid.
