Question 1 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which of the following describe membranes? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
a structure that secretes substances through a duct
B
a thin layer that separates or connects structures inside the body
C
a structure that secretes hormones into the bloodstream
D
a structure usually made from connective and epithelial cells

Explanation

A membrane is a thin layer that covers, separates, or connects structures in the body, so B applies. Many body membranes are made of epithelial tissue supported by connective tissue, which makes D apply. A describes an exocrine gland, while C describes an endocrine gland; neither is the general definition of a membrane.
