Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cutaneous membranes are the outermost layer of the skin, providing a dry barrier to the external environment. Serous membranes line internal cavities and are moistened by serous fluid. Mucous membranes line the body's internal surfaces that are in contact with air, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts, and are also moist. Parietal membranes line the walls of body cavities and do not typically secrete any fluids.
