Match each epithelial membrane with its proper locations and functions. A. Serous membranes B. Mucous membranes - Line the respiratory and digestive tracts - Line closed body cavities - Made of simple squamous epithelium - Cover organs in closed body cavities - Line the urinary and reproductive tracts - Secrete serous fluid to prevent friction - Secrete mucus to keep the living surface cells wet - Include the pleural membranes - Line body tracts that open to the environment - Include the peritoneum and mesentery - May contain goblet cells - Include the pericardial membranes

D. Location and Function of Epithelial Tissue Match the type of epithelium with its location in the respiratory system and its function. Epithelial Tissue a. pseudostratified ciliated columnar b. simple columnar c. simple cuboidal d. simple squamous e. stratified squamous Location 1. Nasal cavity through nasopharynx 2. Oropharynx through larynx above vocal cords 3. Larynx below vocal cords through primary bronchi 4. Secondary bronchi through tertiary bronchi 5. Bronchioles through beginning of respiratory bronchiole 6. End of respiratory bronchiole through alveoli Function 7. Secretes mucus to trap and remove dust and debris 8. Diffusion of respiratory gases 9. Protects underlying tissues
