Document Summary

Simple organs: membranes: membranes: overview simplest organs only 2 tissue types, consist of epithelium attached to ct (with a basement membrane between them, membrane types. Mucous membranes (mucosa) line cavities which open directly to the body exterior also called the mucosa of the e. g. digestive, respiratory, urinary, reproductive systems. 2 layers: a) pseudostratified epithelial layer (avascular) varies from simple squamous to: ct (loose areolar vascular), named the lamina propria, nourishes epithelial cells. Pleura lung o e. g. parietal & visceral pleura o. Peritoneum abdominal organs: pericardium heart. Areolar ct, no epithelium (only one tissue type!) Cutaneous membranes skin o o epithelium = stratified squamous (named the epidermis) Ct = areolar and dense irregular (named the dermis)
