Identify the 4 types of membranes found in the body. 1) cutaneous membranes; 2) serous membrane 3) mucous membranes; and 4) synovial membranes.
What body cavities are lined by serous membranes and synovial membranes? 1)covers the lungs 2)covers the abdominal/organs 3)covers the heart
The three classifications of muscle tissue 1. Skeletal –attached to bones. E.g. triceps and biceps 2. Cardiac- Heart Muscle 3. Smooth – Abdominal Muscles, for example.
