Membranes are classified into four main types: mucous, serous, cutaneous, and synovial. The synovial membrane lines the joint cavities and is a type of connective tissue membrane, so option E is the correct grouping. The meninges are a type of protective layer around the brain and spinal cord and are not involved in joint movement or connective tissue, so options A and D can be eliminated. Option B is incorrect because the dorsal cavity includes the brain and spinal cord, but does not have its own membrane category. Option C is incorrect because the synovial membrane is not epithelial.
