  Cells, Tissues, and Membranes / Membranes
Mucous membranes are epithelial membranes that consist of epithelial tissue that is attached to an underlying loose connective tissue.
Serous fluid lubricates the membrane and reduces friction and abrasion when organs in the thoracic or abdominopelvic cavity move against each other or the cavity wall.
Synovial membranes are connective tissue membranes that line the cavities of the freely movable joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and knee.

 Serous Otitis Media
Acute serous otitis media is usually the result of blockage of the eustachian tube from an upper respiratory infection or an attack of nasal allergy.
Chronic serous otitis media may result from long-standing eustachian tube blockage or from thickening of the fluid so that it cannot be absorbed or drained down the tube.
Surgical treatment of chronic serous otitis media may be recommended to reestablish ventilation of the middle ear, keep the hearing at a normal level, and prevent recurrent infection (which can damage the eardrum membrane and middle ear bones).

Background: The pericardium is composed of the parietal pericardium (an outer fibrous layer) and the visceral pericardium (an inner serous membrane made of a single layer of mesothelial cells).
Second, through its membranous function, the pericardium shields the heart by reducing external friction and acting as a barrier against extension of infection and malignancy.
The pericardium may develop a serous or hemorrhagic effusion.
