Which membrane is the skin?

Explanation:
The skin is a cutaneous membrane, the outer protective barrier of the body. It consists of the epidermis and dermis and serves to protect against environment, regulate water loss, and provide sensation. This type differs from the other membranes: mucous membranes line passages open to the exterior and secrete mucus; serous membranes line closed body cavities and secrete serous fluid for lubrication; synovial membranes line joint cavities and produce synovial fluid.
