Solution

The type of membrane that has both a parietal and visceral layer is the serous membrane.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The body has four types of membranes: mucous, serous, synovial, and cutaneous.

  2. Mucous membranes are found in areas that are exposed to the external environment, like the respiratory and digestive tracts. They do not have parietal and visceral layers.

  3. Synovial membranes are found in the joints and do not have parietal and visceral layers.

  4. Muscular membranes do not exist in the human body.

  5. Serous membranes, however, do have a parietal layer and a visceral layer. The parietal layer lines the body cavity, while the visceral layer covers the organs (viscera) within those cavities. Examples of serous membranes include the pleura (surrounding the lungs), pericardium (surrounding the heart), and peritoneum (surrounding abdominal organs).
