there is no such membrane. It is just skin which is composed of skin cells. Although, it could be said that skin is partially semi-permeable since it sucks oxygen and excretes sweat and vapor.

What serous membrane surrounds the stomach?
The visceral segment of the serous membranes encases the internal organs while the parietal segment is responsible for lining the body wall. Serous membranes which care for the needs of the lungs are known as pleurae while the serous membranes which care for the abdominal cavity are known as peritoneum, but are also referred to as peritoneal membranes.
What is Difference in serous and mucous fluid?
Differences: 1) Position -- Mucous membranes line cavities that connect with the exterior, including the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary tracts. Serous membranes line the sealed, internal cavities of the body. There are three such membranes with each consisting of a simple epithelium supported by loose connective tissue: the pleura lines the pleural cavities and covers the lungs the peritoneum lines the peritoneal cavity and covers the surfaces of enclosed organs such as the liver and stomach the pericardium lines the pericardial cavity and covers the heart. 2) Function -- Mucous membranes protect the tracts from mechanical factor, chemical substances, and microorganism invasion. Serous fluid covers the surfaces to minimize friction between opposing surfaces. 3) Types -- Mucous membranes: simple epithelia, stratified squamous epithelium, the transitional epithelium Serous membranes: there are parietal and visceral portions. Parietal lines the outer wall of the internal chamber. The visceral portion covers organs within the body cavity. Similarities: 1) They are kept moist at all times. 2) They are meant to protect http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090702050355AAZKkCd

How do you wash cloth diaper covers?
Washing covers depends on the material. For wool covers, they must always be handwashed and line dried. For laminated polyester covers, they can be washed in warm water, gentle setting, with the baby's clothes. It is not recommended that they be washed with the diapers. I prefer to hang dry the covers although most will allow for 20 minutes in the dryer at a low setting. Generally, I just handwash my covers daily and let them dry overnight with ivory detergent (this is one of the few dishwashing soaps that are considered a detergent and not a soap. Using soap will undermine the covers waterproofing ability).
