Membranes are simple organs • Form a barrier • Composed of epithelium and connective tissue • Four types • Cutaneous • Synovial • Serous • Mucous
Figure 4.17 Membranes Figure 4.17a-d
Mucous membranes • Line cavities that communicate with the exterior • Contain lamina propria
Serous membranes • Line sealed internal cavities • Form transudate
Cutaneous membrane • Covers the body surface • Synovial membrane • Incomplete lining within joint cavities
Organs and systems are interconnected • Network of connective tissue proper consisting of • Superficial fascia • Deep fascia • Subserous fascia

Inflammation and regeneration • Injured tissues respond in coordinated fashion • Homeostasis restored by inflammation and regeneration
Inflammatory response • Isolates injured area • Damaged cells, tissue components and dangerous microorganisms removed • Infection avoided • Regeneration restores normal function
Figure 4.21 An Introduction to Inflammation Figure 4.21
Aging and tissue repair • Change with age • Repair and maintenance less efficient • Structure altered • Chemical composition altered
Aging and cancer incidence • Incidence of cancer increases with age • 70-80% of all cases due to exposure to chemicals or environmental factors

You should now be familiar with: • The four major tissue types and their functions. • The relationship between form and function for epithelial tissue and connective tissue. • The types and functions of epithelial tissues. • The structure and function of connective tissues. • The structure and function of the four types of membrane.
