3. In the term physiology the suffix -logy means what? study something.

4. What is the type of membrane that lines all of the passages leading the exterior? Cell membrane.

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 Tissue.

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? Derm - skin

8. The term cavity appears frequently in this lesson. What does it mean?

10. A cell is made of cytoplasm except for the nucleus, which is made of _______
__________. Don't know this one.

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.

14. What is the function of the cell membrane? The nucleus? To protect the cell.

15. The Cutaneous membrane is made of two distinct layers. Name each of these layers and describe what they are made of. Epidermis-it’s harder skin n places where there’s more pressure. Dermis-lubricates hair and skin, regulates body temperature.

For number 1, anatomy is not just the study of the brain, it is the study of the structures of the human body. You have numbers 4 and 8 incorrect. Also, you only answered half of numbers 7, 10, and 14. You are welcome to make any necessary corrections to this assignment. If you do make corrections to improve your grade, please post another comment so I know to go and grade this again.

I can tell that you and Victoria are working together. I always support group work in the classroom for classroom assignments. Some people learn better working with another person. Just be careful to make sure that you each are turning in your own unique work.
