Question 9 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

How does occurring in paired layers help the serous membrane perform its function?

Answer
A
Serous membranes need more epithelial layers than other kinds of membranes.
B
If one layer tears, the other can slide in place to protect an organ.
C
Two moist layers make it even easier for organs to move without friction.
D
One layer keeps pathogens in, while the other releases nutrients into the bloodstream.

Explanation

Serous membranes have two moist layers with a thin film of serous fluid between them. This lubrication lets organs move smoothly against nearby surfaces with little friction, so the paired layers help reduce rubbing as organs move. The correct choice is “Two moist layers make it even easier for organs to move without friction.”
