The question appears to be about identifying the characteristics of different types of membranes in the body: mucous, serous, and synovial membranes. Let's break down the information provided and match it to the correct type of membrane.

  1. Mucous membrane:

    • Consists of a layer of epithelial cells, a basement membrane, and a lamina propria.
    • These membranes line body cavities that open to the exterior, such as the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts.
  2. Serous membrane:

    • Consists of a mesothelium, a basement membrane, and loose connective tissue.
    • These membranes line closed internal body cavities and cover the organs within these cavities, such as the pleura (lungs), pericardium (heart), and peritoneum (abdominal organs).
  3. Synovial membrane:

    • Consists of only connective tissue.
    • These membranes line the cavities of synovial joints and produce synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints.

Given this information, we can match the descriptions to the correct types of membranes:

  • Mucous membrane: Consists of a layer of epithelial cells, a basement membrane, and a lamina propria.
  • Serous membrane: Consists of a mesothelium, a basement membrane, and loose connective tissue.
  • Synovial membrane: Consists of only connective tissue.

Summarizing the answer:

  • The mucous membrane consists of a layer of epithelial cells, a basement membrane, and a lamina propria.
  • The serous membrane consists of a mesothelium, a basement membrane, and loose connective tissue.
  • The synovial membrane consists of only connective tissue.
