4. List the four basic types of tissues.
Answer:
The four basic types of tissues are:
1. Epithelial tissue
2. Connective tissue
3. Muscle tissue
4. Nervous tissue
5. List the three layers of the skin in order from deep to superficial.
The deepest layer of the skin should be listed first. To receive credit, the layers must be listed in the
correct order.
Answer:
1. Hypodermis — the deepest layer, also called the subcutaneous tissue layer
2. Dermis — the middle layer
3. Epidermis — the outermost layer
Important: The layers must be listed in this order, from deepest to most superficial, to receive credit.
6. Testosterone contributes to muscle strength and bone mass. Based on your
understanding of metabolism, would testosterone be considered an anabolic or
catabolic hormone? Explain why.
Answer:
Testosterone is considered an anabolic hormone because it promotes the building and growth of
tissues. It supports protein synthesis, muscle development, and maintenance of bone mass, which are
processes that require energy and involve constructing larger molecules or tissues from smaller
components.
