Cell, tissue, organ, and system
3. In the term physiology the suffix -logy means what? Study of
4. What is the type of membrane that lines all of the passages leading the exterior? Mucous
5. What do you call a mass of cells that all perform the same function? Tissue
6. What type of tissue is specialized for the conduction of nerve impulses? nerve
7. The term epidermis contains a prefix and a root term. What is the root in this word and what does it mean? What is the prefix in this word and what does it mean? Dermis: layer epi: outer most
