  2. Mesothelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesothelium

    The mesothelium is a membrane composed of simple squamous epithelial cells of mesodermal origin, [2] which forms the lining of several body cavities: the pleura (pleural cavity around the lungs), peritoneum (abdominopelvic cavity including the mesentery, omenta, falciform ligament and the perimetrium) and pericardium (around the heart).

  3. Serous membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serous_membrane

    Schematic diagram of an organ invaginating into a serous cavity. The pericardial cavity (surrounding the heart), pleural cavity (surrounding the lungs) and peritoneal cavity (surrounding most organs of the abdomen) are the three serous cavities within the human body. While serous membranes have a lubricative role to play in all three cavities ...

  4. Tissue membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_membrane

    A serous membrane is an epithelial membrane composed of mesodermally derived epithelium called the mesothelium that is supported by connective tissue. [2] These membranes line the coelomic cavities of the body, that is, those cavities that do not open to the outside, and they cover the organs located within those cavities.

    Normal histology of the breast, with basement membrane annotated near center-right. Prostate gland microanatomy, with basement membrane annotated at bottom.. As seen with the electron microscope, the basement membrane is composed of two layers, the basal lamina and the reticular lamina. [4]

  6. Body cavity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_cavity

    In amniotes and some invertebrates, the coelom is the large cavity lined by mesothelium, an epithelium derived from mesoderm. Organs formed inside the coelom can freely move, grow, and develop independently of the body wall while fluid in the peritoneum cushions and protects them from shocks.

  7. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    The mesoderm forms mesenchyme, mesothelium and coelomocytes. Mesothelium lines coeloms . Mesoderm forms the muscles in a process known as myogenesis , septa (cross-wise partitions) and mesenteries (length-wise partitions); and forms part of the gonads (the rest being the gametes ).

  9. Simple squamous epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_squamous_epithelium

    A simple squamous epithelium, also known as pavement epithelium and tessellated epithelium, is a single layer of flattened, polygonal cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium. [1]
