8. The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean?
9. Name the four main types of tissue and describe their function. Epidermis-covers entire bodies; Connective tissue-supports and protects; Muscle-specialized for contraction; Nerve-specialized for the conduction of neural impulse.
10. A cell is made of cytoplasm except for the nucleus, which is made of _______
__________. Don't know this one.
11. What type of membrane lines joint cavities and outer surfaces of bones? Fibrous Membrane.
12. What is an organ system? When two or more tissues combine; A group of organs specialized to perform a major body program.
13. Name the five types of membranes and where each is located. Cutaneous membrane- all over; Mucous Membrane-Lines all passageways into the body; Fibrous Membrane-Lines all joints; Serous membrane-Lines closed cavities; Fascia Membrane-Covers muscles-blood vessels.
