The national self-interest dictated to Jawaharlal Nehru a policy of non-alignment, which in essence meant keeping an independence of policy, not aligning with power blocs or making pre-commitments, keeping our options open, not taking decisions on pre-conceived notions, and judging each issue on its merits.
The peritoneum is a continuous transparent membrane which lines the abdominal cavity and covers the abdominal organs (or viscera). It acts to support the viscera, and provides a pathway for blood vessels and lymph.
The four types of membranes are: 1) cutaneous membranes; 2) serous membranes; 3) mucous membranes; and 4) synovial membranes. Mucous membranes are tissues that line body cavities or canals such as the throat, nose, mouth, urethra, rectum, and vagina.erous membranes line body cavities (peritoneum) and surround organs such as the lung (pleura) and heart (pericardium). The cutaneous membrane is the skin. This membrane is composed of a layer of epithelium over a layer of connective tissue.
