Serosa: Anatomy and function - Kenhub
2024年2月24日 · The serosa, also known as the serous membrane, is a single layer of simple squamous epithelium called mesothelium. It is supported by a thin underlying layer of loose connective tissue, abundant in blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves and adipose tissue.
Definition, Function and Structure - Biology Dictionary
2017年7月4日 · The serous membrane, or serosal membrane, is a thin membrane that lines the internal body cavities and organs such as the heart, lungs, and abdominal cavity. The thin membrane is made up of mesothelium tissue which originates from the mesoderm. The serous membrane allows for frictionless movement in a number of vital organs.
Serous membrane - Wikipedia
The serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth tissue membrane of mesothelium lining the contents and inner walls of body cavities, which secrete serous fluid to allow lubricated sliding movements between opposing surfaces.
22.5D: Serosa - Medicine LibreTexts
In anatomy, the serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth membrane that consists of a thin connective tissue layer and a thin layer of cells that secrete serous fluid. Serous membranes line and enclose several body cavities, known as serous cavities, where they secrete a lubricating fluid to reduce friction from muscle movements.

2023年1月16日 · There are four layers to the gastrointestinal tract: the mucosa, the submucosa, the muscularis propria and either serosa or adventitia; Organs that are intraperitoneal and move freely have serosa, whereas fixed structures that are retroperitoneal have adventitia
1.9: Serosa (Serous Membranes) - Biology LibreTexts
Serous membranes are named not only using the terms "visceral" and "parietal", but also describing the body cavity where they are located. Serosa of the pleural cavities are called either parietal pleural or visceral pleural. Serosa of the pericardial cavity are called either parietal pericardium or visceral pericardium.

2023年2月24日 · The majority of the small intestine adventitia is covered by mesothelium and is commonly called the serosa. The small intestine is the major absorptive site in the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore has a number of modifications to aid its function.
Serosa - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The serosa (mesothelial cells) forms a complete sac containing pericardial fluid and is separated from the heart by a thin layer of loose epicardial connective tissue and a single layer of mesothelial cells, while the fibrosa has collagen fibers and some elastic fibers and is rich in nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatics. The serosa and fibrosa ...
Serosa - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The serosa (or serous membrane) is a smooth tissue that forms the outer membrane of the intestines. Adjacent to the serosa, the muscularis externa or muscular layer propels foodstuffs and wastes unidirectionally by peristalsis. The next layer, the submucosa, supports blood and lymph vessels as well as lymphoid tissue.
