WHAT DOES SEROUS MEMBRANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

serous membrane

Serous membrane

In anatomy, serous membrane is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells which secrete serous fluid, and an underlying thin epithelial layer. The Latin anatomical name is tunica serosa. Serous membranes line and enclose several body cavities, known as serous cavities, where they secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement. Serosa is entirely different from the adventitia, a connective tissue layer which binds together structures rather than reducing friction between them. The serous membrane covering the heart and lining the mediastinum is referred to as the pericardium, the serous membrane lining the thoracic cavity and surrounding the lungs is referred to as the pleura, and that lining the abdominopelvic cavity and the viscera is referred to as the peritoneum.

Definition of serous membrane in the English dictionary
