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.
