What is the primary structural difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?

endocrine glands lack ducts, exocrine glands have ducts

A defining characteristic of mucous membrane (mucosa) is that: A) is always dry and impermeable B) lines body cavities that are open to the external environment C) secretes serous fluid to reduce friction

B) lines body cavities that are open to the external environment

The Golgi apparatus primarily functions to:

modify, sort, and package the proteins for transport

The primary function of the cell membrane is to:

act as a selectively permeable barrier

As cells migrate from the stratum Basale to the surface, what is the primary change that occurs?

keratinization. They fill with keratin and eventually die

What is the difference between Anatomy and Physiology?

Anatomy is the study of body structure, Physiology is the study of body function

What is the anatomical positions?

a standardized body position where the person stands upright, facing the observer, with arms at the side and palms facing forward

What does the pH of a solution measure?

the concentration of hydrogen ions

What is the difference between catabolism and anabolism?

Catabolism breaks down complex molecules, releasing energy. Anabolism builds them, requiring energy

In a typical long bone, where is the medullary cavity located, and what does it contain in adults?

In the diaphysis; it contains yellow bone marrow
