Which of the following is NOT a type of epithelial membrane?
Cutaneous
Mucous
Synovial
Serous
What is the general function of epithelial membranes?
Movement
Cushioning
Covering and Lining
Absorption
Which best describes the cutaneous membrane?
Found in body cavities only
The skin; keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Moist membrane adapted for absorption
Lining of the heart
Mucous membranes line which type of body cavities?
Cavities closed to the exterior
Cavities that open to the exterior
Only abdominal cavities
Only thoracic cavities
Which of the following is true about serous membranes?
Only found in digestive tract
Occur singly
Always dry
Occur in pairs and secrete fluid
The pleura is the serous membrane that surrounds the:
Heart
Lungs
Brain
Kidneys
Synovial membranes are classified as what type of membrane?
Epithelial
Connective Tissue
Mucous
Serous
Which of the following is NOT part of the integumentary system?
Skin
Nails
Hair
Bones
Which best describes the epidermis?
Vascular layer with glands
Stratified squamous epithelium, avascular
Layer with dermal papillae
Made mostly of connective tissue
Which cells make up about 90% of the epidermis and produce keratin?
Melanocytes
Keratinocytes
Phagocytes
Fibroblasts
Melanocytes are found in which layer of the skin?
Dermis
Hypodermis
Lower layer of the epidermis
Reticular layer
Which factor does NOT contribute to skin color?
Melanin
Carotene
Hemoglobin
Collagen
Which layer gives skin its strength and elasticity?
Epidermis
Dermis
Hypodermis
Stratum corneum
Dermal papillae are found in which layer of the dermis?
Reticular
Papillary
Hypodermis
Stratum basale
Which of the following is found in the reticular layer of the dermis?

Meissner’s corpuscles
Pacinian corpuscles
Melanocytes
Which protein gives skin toughness and hydration?
Elastin
Collagen
Keratin
Actin
What is the function of the hypodermis?
Protect skin from UV rays
Hold skin to underlying tissue
Produce sweat
Store melanin
Which of the following is NOT an accessory organ of the skin?
Sweat glands
Sebaceous glands
Hair
Muscles
Which sweat glands are the most common and help regulate temperature?
Apocrine
Sebaceous
Eccrine
Ceruminous
Apocrine sweat glands differ from eccrine sweat glands because they:
Secrete only water and salts
Are active from birth
Are concentrated in axillary and genital areas
Open directly onto the skin’s surface
What is the function of sebaceous glands?
Produce sweat
Produce oil called sebum
Store melanin
Produce collagen
Hair gets its color from:
Keratinocytes
Sebum
Melanocytes
Carotene
Nails are made of:
Hardened keratinocytes
Melanin
Collagen fibers
Elastin
