Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synovial membranes reduce friction in joints by producing synovial fluid which lubricates the joint. Serous membranes line the body cavities and reduce friction between organs, cutaneous membranes form the skin and provide protection, mucous membranes line the respiratory and digestive tracts and produce mucus to trap pathogens, and "tissue" is too broad and non-specific.
