1. List the four basic types of tissues.
Epithelium, muscle, connective, and nervous tissue
,2. List the three layers of the skin in order from deep to superficial. The deepest layer
of the skin should be at the top of your list. To receive credit the layers must be in this
order.
hypodermis (inner, also called subcutaneous
tissue layer) dermis (middle layer)
epidermis (outer layer)
*MUST be in this order (top to bottom) to receive credit
3. Testosterone contributes to muscle strength and bone mass. Based upon your
learning of metabolism, would it be considered an anabolic or catabolic hormone?
Explain why.
Anabolic because it is building new tissues from smaller cells and using energy to do so.
Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words. All multiple choice questions
