9201910604Types of membranesSerous, mucous, cutaneous, synovial0
9201910605serous membraneLine body cavities that lack openings to the outside. Form inner linings of thorax and abdomen. Layers of simple squamous epithelium and loose connective tissue. Secretes Serous fluid that lubricates the surface of the membrane.1
9201910606mucous membraneSecretes mucous that keeps the cell moist and elastic. Lines body cavities that open to the outside of the body. Consists of epithelial tissues overlying loose connective tissue. Oral cavity, nasal cavity.2
9201910607cutaneous membraneSkin3
9201910608synovial membraneThe lining of a joint that secretes synovial fluid into the joint space. Consists of fibrous connective tissue, loose connective tissue and adipose.4
9201910609Functions of skinProtection, regulation of body temp, prevents water loss from deeper tissues, location of sensory receptors. Synthesizes various chemicals. Excretes small amounts of waste substances.5
9201910610EpidermisOuter layer of skin composed of stratified squamous epithelium.6
9201910611MitosisOccurs in the deepest layers of cells in the epidermis7
9201910612KeratinizationThe process by which cells form fibrils of keratin8
9201910613MelaninA pigment that gives the skin its color9
9201910614Melanocytesproduce melanin10
9201910615Epidermis is anchored to theBasement membrane11
9201910616DermisComposed of fibrous connective tissue, epithelial, smooth muscle, nerve and blood.12

9201910618Dermis binds theEpidermis to the underlying tissues14
9201910619Nerve tissue is scattered throughout theDermis15
9201910620Dermis containsHair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.16
9201910621subcutaneous layerLies beneath dermis, composed of loose connective and adipose.17
9201910622Hair folliclesHair is composed of dead epidermal cells that have undergone keratinization.18

9201910624Sebum glands are responsible forAcne20
9201910625Nails are produced byEpidermal cells that undergo keratinization.21
9201910626Sweat glandsExocrine glands that may respond to heat.22
9201910627skeletal muscle tissuetype of voluntary muscle tissue in muscles attached to bones23
9201910628smooth muscle tissuetype of involuntary muscle tissue. Control dilation of blood vessels.24
9201910629cardiac muscle tissueAn involuntary muscle tissue that can only be found in the heart.25
9201910630NeuronsNerve cells that coordinate and regulate body activities.26
9201910631neurological cellsBind and support nerve tissue27
