CHAPTER 4: SKIN AND BODY
MEMBRANES EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2025/2026
3 Different types of Epithelial Divisions & Locations - ANS Cutaneous, Mucous, and Serous
cutaneous membrane ( Skin) - ANS Covers body surface! Made of 2 layers ( Epidermis &
Dermis) -> Epidermis is made of stratified squamous/ Dermis is made of connective tissue
mucous membrane ( Absorption & Secretion) - ANS Composed of epithelium resting on loss
connective tissue -> Lines all body cavities ( Compose of stratified squamous/ simple columnar)
Such as respiratory, digestive, uninary, reproductive, etc.
Serous Membrane - ANS - Compose of layers of simple squamous that rests on layer of
connective tissue
- Lines organs in the ventral body cavities exterior.
Lamina propria - ANS Loose connective tissue that supports epithelium tissue
Epidermis - ANS Tissue made out of stratified squamous that is hard/tough
Dermis - ANS Layer beneath epidermis -> composed of dense irregular connective tissue
( Framework for skin)

, Bursa - ANS Small- Fluid sac that's acts as a cushion btwn bones , tendons, muscles.
( Reduce friction / protection)
Decubitus ulcer - ANS ( Bedsores) -> cause by pressure on the skin that leads to restriction in
blood supply
Erythema ( Emotion that affects skin color) - ANS Reddened skin -> blushing
(embarrassment), fever, inflammation, allergy.
Pallor ( Emotion that affects skin color) - ANS Pale Skin -> fear, anger, stress, anemia, low
blood pressure
Jaundice ( Emotion that affects skin color) - ANS Yellow Skin tone -> liver disorder due to
excess bile going into bloodstream
Neoplasm - ANS Abnormal amount of tissue growth ( tumor)
Metastasize - ANS the process -> cancer spreads to other sites
parietal components of the serous membrane - ANS Layer lines a specific portion of the wall
in the ventral body cavity
visceral components of the serous membrane - ANS parietal components folds itself which
forms visceral layers that covers the outside of organs in a cavity.
Role of Serous fluid
( I have feeling this is gonna be an essay "?" ) - ANS Thin fluid that secreted which allows
organs to slide w/out friction & no pain when carrying out functions
( Pumping of heart/ Expanding of lungs)
