4. True or false: The secretions of endocrine glands can alter cell function.

5. The __________ is a layer of protein that aids in attaching an epithelial tissue to the connective tissue deep to it?

6. The electrical signals that stimulate muscle contraction are created by ______ tissue?

Answer 1

Answer

1) Exocrine glands release useful, non-hormone secretions into the blood -------- FALSE

- Exocrine gland release their secretion in ducts. Hence, the statement is FALSE.

2) Function of serous fluid :

• Serous fluid are lines the body cavities and provides lubrication to the organs.
• It moistens the associated organs.  

3) The membrane that is responsible for lubricating the hip and shoulder joints is : Synovial membrane

Option D

4) The secretions of endocrine glands can alter cell function ------ TRUE

5) The basal lamina is a layer of protein that aids in attaching an epithelial tissue to the connective tissue deep to it.
- Basal lamina is made up of proteins, laminin, perlecan, entactin and it attaches to the reticular lamina secreted by connective tissue. Hence, it aids in attaching an epithelial tissue to the connective tissue deep to it.

6) The electrical signals that stimulate muscle contraction are created by nervous tissue.
