1. Explain the difference between anatomy and physiology. Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of how the body part work.
2. Please organize the following structures in order from smallest to largest: system, tissue, organ, and cell.
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
8. The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean? A hole
9. Name the four main types of tissue and describe their function.
Epithelial: is the skin
connective: supports and protects bones, cartilage, adipose
muscle: Specializes in contractiving

13. Name the five types of membranes and where each is located.

Mucous: lines all the passageways that lead to the exterior of the body
Fibrous: lines all the joints cavities also cover the outer surface of bones
Serous: lines closed cavities and the organs that are in them
Fascia: covers muscles, lies below the dermis, clovers glands, blood vessels and nerves
14. What is the function of the cell membrane? The nucleus? The membrane keeps the cytoplasm in and the nucleus controls growth repair and reproduction
15.The cutaneous membrane is made of two distinct layers. Name each of these layers and describe what they are made of. Epidermis: is made up of epithelial sheets of the coetaneous membrane.
Dermis: the dermis is composed mainly of connective tissue and microscopic organs such as sweat glands and sebaceous glade.
