It is covered by three thin layers of tissue called membranes.

The healing process is mainly determined by the periosteum (the connective tissue membrane covering the bone).

This observation suggests that the chemical composition and properties of tissue membranes, specifically the acyl chains of the membrane phospholipids, directly influence the magnitude of the phase angle of an individual.

Human brains are surrounded by a system of connective tissue membranes called meninges that separate the skull from the brain.

Blood burst in spurts from his mouth each time one of the blows knocked the air from his lungs, his broken and jagged ribs tearing at the thin, tissue paper-like membranes of his lungs.

These compartments use the femur as an axis, and are separated by tough connective tissue membranes (or septa).

Visceral fascia (also called subserous fascia) suspends the organs within their cavities and wraps them in layers of connective tissue membranes.

Tissue specificity is a general feature of post-infectious, immune-mediated conditions, and the meninges are a type of connective tissue membrane.

Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a post-infectious disease entity of synovium/joints with connective tissue membrane (synovial membrane of the joints) which provides a corollary.

A derivative of cholesterol was the first compound found to have liquid crystal properties, in the mid-19th century, but many such compounds, found in soaps, tissue membranes, the oily appearing substance in mood rings, etc., tended to be unstable.
