After taking the drug, wait at least 30 minute before ingesting anything other than plain water, to give the body time to absorb the medication.
The abdominopelvic cavity houses the majority of the digestive organs. Serous membranes, the same ones which line the abdominal cavity, cover the digestive organs and provide basic structural support.Simple squamous epithelium intermittently straddled with connective tissue creates the serous membranes.erous membranes, the same ones which line the abdominal cavity, cover the digestive organs and provide basic structural support. Simple squamous epithelium intermittently straddled with connective tissue creates the serous membranes.
A delicate layer called a serous membrane lines the walls of these internal cavities and covers the surfaces of the enclosed viscera. 11. Thoracic Cavity a. Each pleural cavity, which contains a lung, is lined by a shiny, slippery serous membrane that reduces the friction as the lung expands and recoils during respiration. b. The serous membrane lining a pleural cavity is called pleura. The visceral pleura covers the outer surfaces of the lung, the parietal pleura covers the inner surfaces of the lung. c.
