Which layer of the skin is this?
Top Layer
Contains keratin
Used more for protection
Epidermis
Which layer of the skin is this?
Second Layer
Contains: Connective tissue, nerve cells, muscle fibers, sweat glands, oil glands, and hair follicles
Dermis
Which layer of the skin is this?
Last Layer
Stores fat
Helps the body retain heat
Subcutaneous
What causes skin to be tan? What is Melanin?
Melanin, which is a brown pigment in our skin, causes the skin to tan.
What are the main functions of the skin?
In cold temperatures, the body shivers, eratures, blood vessel contract, creating heat. In warm temperatures, body produces sweat, blood vessels dilate, cools body down. Skin respond to exposure to the sun's UV rays by producing vitamin D, which absorb calcium and is essential for proper bone formation. Unbroken skin keeps microorganisms out of the body Nerves make a person aware of pain, pressure, and changes in temperature.
What kind of burn is this?
Damage: Cells in the epidermis are injured and may die
Effect: Redness and swelling, mild pain
First Degree
What kind of burn is this?
Damage: Cells deeper in the epidermis die. Cells in the dermis are injured and may die.
Effect: Blisters and Pain
Second Degree
What kind of burn is this?
Damage: Cells in the epidermis and dermis die. Nerve cells and muscle cells are injured.
Effect: Skin function lost, healthy skin needs to be transplanted, no pain because of nerve cell damage after the burn as gone through all the layers
Third Degree
What are Ultraviolet rays and how are they harmful?
It can damage the DNA in skin cells, causing those cells to grow and divide uncontrollably.

UVA and UVB
What is the function of Keratin?
Makes the skin waterproof and protects the cells and the tissue that lie underneath
How does the skin heal and what is that order?

Lets UV rays get into your skin
Damages the skin a lot
Tanning bed
Is this a tanning bed or a fake tan?
Easy and reliable
Does not burn skin with UV rays
Approved but only for external use
SAFE
Fake tan
What is Ossification?
The process of bone formation
What is osteoblast?
The cells responsible for the growth and repair of bones.
What is osteoclast?
Breaks down bone cells
What is compact bone?
The outer layer of bones
Dense and strong providing strength and protection
What is spongy bone?
Found at the center of short or flat bones and at the end of long bones and is less dense
Red bone marrow is found here
What is bone marrow?
Red bone marrow produces red and white blood cells and platelets
Yellow bone marrow consists of stored fat
What type of joint is this?
Ball-like surface fits into cuplike depression in another bone; allows widest range of motion, such as swinging arms
Example: Hip joint and shoulder joint
Ball-and-Socket
What type of joint is this?
Primary movements is rotation, such as twisting lower arm
Example: Elbow joint
Pivot
What type of joint is this?
Outward curve of one bone fits into inward curve of another bone; allows back-and-forth movement
Example: Knee joint
Hinge
What type of joint is this?
Allows side-to-side and back-and-forth movement
Example: Wrist joint, ankle joint, and vertebra
Gliding
What type of joint is this?
Joints in the skull that are not movable
Example: Skull joint
Sutures
What kind of bone marrow is this?
Produces red and white blood cells and platelets
Red bone marrow
What kind of bone marrow is this?
Consists of stored fat
Yellow bone marrow
What type of muscle is this?
No stripes
Involuntary
Found in the intestines, stomach, bladder, and uterus
Smooth
What type of muscle is this?
Stripped
Found in the heart
Involuntary
Cardiac
What type of muscle is this?
Voluntary Muscles
Tendons connect muscles to bones
Skeletal
What type of switch is this?
Fatigue easily
Provide great strength for rapid, short movements
Rely on anaerobic metabolism, which causes build up of lactic acid
Fast Twitch
What type of switch is this?
Stores oxygen and serves as an oxygen serve
More endurance
Slow Twitch
How do you divide the nervous System?
The Peripheral Nervous System and the Central Nervous System
What is CNS?
The processing center for all information
Controls all decisions for the entire body
Receive, process, and begin a response to all sensory stimuli
Consists of the brain and spinal cord
What is PNS?
The part of the nervous system outside the CNS
Contains all nerves that branch out from the brain and spinal cord
Connects the CNS to the rest of the body
What is the cerebrum? How can you divide it?
The big part of the brain that is divided into two halves called the left and right hemispheres.
What lobe is this?
Reasoning, judgment, self-control, voluntary muscle movement, and learning
Frontal
What lobe is this?
Responsible for receiving and making sense of sensory information
Touch, pressure, heat, and pain
Makes sense of your surroundings, enhancing spatial awareness
Parietal
What lobe is this?
Processes auditory information
Encodes it into one's memory
Temporal
What lobe is this?
Linked to processing visual information
Occipital
What lobe is this?
Responsible for processing complex emotion and memory (motivation
Limbic
Where is the cerebellum and what does it do?
Below the occipital lobe. It controls your balance and coordination.
What are the parts of a neuron?
Dendrite, Cell body, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Myelin Sheath
What is an impulse and how does it travel through a neuron?
They carry an electrical impulse through the Nervous system to transmit information. This impulse travels from one to the other to relay the message to any point in the body.
What is a synapse?
A junction where neurons communicate with each other.
What are red blood cells?
Give blood red color, deliver oxygen to the body
Erythrocytes
What are white blood cells?
Part of body's immune system, fight infections
Leukocytes
What are platelets?
Disc-like fragments in blood to clot and stop bleeding when necessary
Thrombocytes
What is the function of the cardiovascular system?
1. Transports oxygen and nutrients to the body
2. Carries disease fighting materials produced from immune system
3. Contains cell fragments and proteins for blood clotting
4. Distributes heat throughout the body and regulates body temperature
What are the four chambers of the heart? Where does oxygenated/deoxygenated blood go?
Left Atrium, Left Ventricle, Right Atrium, and Right Ventricle. Left: Oxygenate
Right: Deoxygenated
What is maximal Heart rate and how can you calculate it?
The upper limit of what your heart and blood vessel system. 220 minus your age
What are veins?
Vessels that return blood to the heart.
Largest:Inferior Vena Cava
What are arteries?
Delivering blood from the heart to virtually everywhere in the body
Largest:Aorta
What is mechanical digestion?
The physical breakdown of food
What is chemical digestion?
Molecular breakdown of food
What is the role of saliva in digestion?
It moistens the food and begins chemical digestion through the enzyme, salivary amylase.
What is mastication and is it a form of chemical or mechanical digestion?
It ground/breaks up the food, which is mechanical digestion.
What is peristalsis?
It is the involuntary, wave-lake movement of smooth muscle, moving food forward through the digestive tract.
What are the functions of the stomach?
Break down food and turn it into chyme, an acidic paste.
What does the small intestine do?
Further digests the food and absorbs nutrients.
What is villi and what is its function?
Absorb broken down nutrients and here they enter the bloodstream via diffusion. They can then be transported anywhere in the bloodstream.
What does the large intestine do?
Absorbs all water and electrolytes left in the food and expels the waste product: feces
