Mucus-secreting cells or glands are usually present in the epithelium but may be absent. In humans, mucous membranes and the skin prevent the entry of pathogens. Mucous membranes are normally colonized with nonpathogenic organisms that discourage colonization by pathogens because the resident organisms compete for the nutrients essential to their survival. Some mucosal surfaces in the digestive tract have special characteristics that tend to repel or kill organisms, such as the extremely high acid level on the mucosa of the stomach. Noninvasive examination of membranes should reveal the degree of moisture, cyanosis, pallor, hyperemia, pigmentation, lesions or their absence, and hemorrhage. Pallor is seen in all anemias. If the pallor is temporary, it may indicate shock or vasomotor spasm, or it may occur in severe hemorrhages. Blanching and flushing alternately accompany aortic regurgitation. Hyperemia of the mucous membranes is indicative of certain pathological changes in particular tissues, e, g., of the buccal mucous membrane, due to decayed teeth, traumatism, or stomatitis; of the nasal mucosa, due to ulceration of the nose, rhinitis, or inflammation; of the eyes (local irritation), due to a foreign body, ulcer, inflammation. Dryness is seen in fevers, chronic gastritis, some liver disturbances, excitement, shock, prostration, fatigue, thirst, and certain drugs. nasal mucous membraneThe mucosa lining the nasal cavity and characterized by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells.Nasmyth membrane See: Nasmyth membranenictitating membraneA third eyelid present in lower vertebrates and represented in humans by a fold of the conjunctiva, the plica semilunaris.nuclear membraneThe two-layered membrane surrounding the chromosomes of a cell.

The synovial membrane is pink, smooth, and shiny and is made of an intima lining a stronger, vascular fibrous membrane. The intima contains synoviocytes (fibroblast- and macrophage-like cells), which remove debris from the synovial fluid and synthesize some of the mucin (specifically, hyaluronic acid) of the synovial fluid. Most of the synovial fluid is filtered from the blood vessels of the outer fibrous layer of the synovial membrane.
