Give an example of body part medial to the ribs
Sternum
The wrist is considered___to the elbow(shoulder as an origin).
Distal
Fluid connective tissue that contains specialized cells to manage immune response, and exchange of materials.
Blood Def
Neuron Def
Conducts electrical impulses.
Adipose Def
Almost entirely filled with triglycerides (fat), insulated, provides padding and energy storage.
Bone (Osseous) Def
Calcium crystals and cartilage combine for protection and structural support.
Cardiac Def
Used to pump blood throughout the circulatory system. Maintains blood pressure, contains discs with striations, located in the thoracic cavity.
Smooth Def
Found in walls of hollow organs such as blood vessels, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive organs to move substances.
Areolar Def
Beneath dermis of skin, digestive tract, respiratory and urinary tracts; Cushions organs, provides support but permits independent movement.
Simple Squamos Def
Absorbs, secretes and protects. Lines the digestive tract, uterine and kidney tubes.
Simple Columnar Def
Lines the central body cavity, reduces friction and helps to regulate permeability.
Skeletal Def
Throughout the body, it generates heat and is used to move or stabilize body position.

What is the correct order of the layers of the skin?
Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis
The tissue under the true skin is called the
Hypodermis
As cells are pushed from the deeper portion of the epidermis toward the surface,
keratinized, then die
Thick skin can be found on the skin
Palms
The skin is also called the
Integument
The primary mode of heat loss from the body is
Radiation
Epidermal cells are supplied with nutrients from blood vessels in the
Dermis
Functions of the skin include
Protection, Vit D proud., sensation, temp reg
The pigment melanin
Protects from UV radiation
Epidermal cells synthesize this vitamin when exposed to sunlight.
D3
The layer of skin that provides thermoregulation via changing blood flow is the
Dermis
The folds of the dermis that cause fingerprints
Dermis- paillae
When the boyd is overheated, the skin responds by
by increasing the blood flow to dermis
The hypodermisc contains mostly
Adipose
Injections made under the skin are called
Hypodermal
Accesory structures of the skin include
Hair follicles, arrector pili muscles, sebaceous gland
The condition that results from clogged sebaceous glands is
Acne
Sweat helps to cool the body by
Evaporation
Eccrine and sebaceous glands differ in
Sweat glands/oil glands
A burn that penetrates the epidermis and part of the dermis is classified as a
2nd degree
A burn that only involves only the epidermis, such as a mild sunburn, is classified as a
1st degree
hich of the following is a function of the skeletal system?
