1. Option (C) is correct.
Synovial is not an epithelial membrane. Synovial is a connective tissue membrane.
Synovial membranes naturally produce a synovial fluid into the joint cavity, lubricating the cartilage at the ends of the bones for free and friction-free movement.
2. Option (D) is correct.
Neither a nor b is a connective tissue membrane.
Synovial is a connective tissue membrane, while cutaneous and mucous are epithelial membranes.
3. Option (B) is correct
The pleura in the thoracic cavity is an example of serous membrane.
Pleurae are serous membranes that separate the thoracic cavity from the lungs and wall.
4. Option (C) is correct.
The skin is an example of cutaneous membrane.
A cutaneous membrane is a multilayered membrane that consists of epithelial and connective tissues.
5. Option (A) is correct.
The lining of the mouth is an example of a mucous membrane.
The mucous membranes all lined the mouth, tongue, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
