Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Membranes

👉 Membranes are structures that separate and keep substances from each other. These layers of cells, tissues, or organs provide a barrier to protect the body from harmful substances and waste products. Membranes can also act as a filter for gases, allowing them into the blood but preventing them out. They also help to regulate blood flow by separating different types of blood vessels and maintaining their proper size and shape. In some cases, they may also serve as a barrier against infections or other harmful substances.
