Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The type of membrane that lines freely movable joints is a synovial membrane. It secretes synovial fluid which lubricates the joints and reduces friction during movement. Mucous membranes line organs that open to the outside environment (like the respiratory and digestive tracts), serous membranes line closed internal cavities (like the pleural and peritoneal cavities), and visceral membranes cover organs.
