Summary Introduction
To identify:
The membranes composed of epithelial and connective tissues that protect the other structures in body.
Introduction:
The membranes composed of epithelial and connective tissues are connected by cellular base and the cells are joined at cellular junction. These membranes form the protective covering of organs and cavities hence protecting them from damage.
