20
Fibers, fibroblasts, mast cells, fat cells, and white blood cells are found in the
Dermis
21
Hair, smooth muscles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and sensory nerve endings are...
Accessory structures of the Dermis
22
Found in the dermis, attached to the hair follicle and raises hair to an upright position (when scared)
Smooth Muscle
23
Found in the dermis, these detect heat, cold, touch, deep pressure, and vibration (thereby protecting us)
Sensory Nerve Endings
24
Found in the dermis, creates sebum, moistens/softens skin
Sebaceous (oil) glands
25
Maintenance of relative consistency of the conditions of the internal environment
Homeostasis
26
System used to maintain homeostasis, where deviations from normal are detected and counteracted
Negative Feedback Control System
27
Components of Negative Feedback Control System (4)
1) Control Variable
2) Sensor (receptor)
3) Control Center
4) Effector
28
Any physical/chemical property that may vary and must be controlled to maintain homeostasis
Control Variable
29
Monitors current value for control variable and sends information to the control center
Sensor (receptor)
30
Receives input from the sensor, compares the value to the set point, signals effectors if necessary
Control Center
31
Takes action to correct the imbalance, based on information from the control center
Effector
32
For skin homeostasis, the is
Body Temperature
33
For skin homeostasis, the sensors are
Temperature sensors in the skin and internal organs
34
For skin homeostasis, the control center is
The hypothalamus (in brain)
35
For skin homeostasis, the Effectors are (3)
Blood vessels, sweat glands, skeletal muscles (adjust to get back to the set point)
36
When Body Temp is too high, blood vessels
Dilate
(allows more sweat to release and cool us)
37
When Body Temp is too low, blood vessels
Constrict
(keeps blood closer to the organs near trunk, can survive without extremities)
38
When Body Temp is too low, skelatal muscles
Contract (to generate heat)
39
When Body Temp is too high, sweat glands
Release sweat
40
Rickets
41
Cells with no nucleus
Anucleated (red blood cells)
42
Has a striped appearance under the microscope

Melanocytes
48
If you don't get enough vitamin D, your bones will be soft and you could develop this condition
Rickets
49
Vitamin required for proper fetal development
Folate
50
Skin color homeostasis includes a balance of
Vitamin D and UV protection
51
System that amplifies events, a change in the control variable causes a series of events that amplifies the origional change
Positive feedback system

53
(T or F) A positive feedback system is a mechanism for maintaining homeostasis
False
54
The skin provides a waterproof barrier surrounding the body because of the presence of ____
, a protein in the epidermal cells.
Keratin
55
Body temperature is controlled by a negative feedback control system. The _____
is the control center for this system.
hypothalamus
56
Body temperature is controlled by a
Negative feedback control system.
57
Which one of the following is found in the dermis?
a.sweat gland
b.skeletal muscle
c. cardiac muscle
d.melanocytes
A
58
When do human bodies use a positive feedback system?
during labor
59
The presence of a suntan is due to the increased activity of
_______ in response to increased levels of ultraviolet radiation.
melanin/melanocytes
60
Each of these organ systems is involved in the homeostatic regulation of body temperature EXCEPT which one?
Select one:
a.muscular system
b.skeletal system
c.circulatory system
d.nervous system
e. integumentary system
B
61
The net diffusion of water across a plasma membrane is known as
Osmosis
62
If you were in a bike accident that resulted in bleeding, explain why the injury must be deeper than the epidermis.
The blood vessels are located in the dermis, which is underneath the epidermis, and therefore to reach them the injury must be deeper.
63
Please explain why it is possible for the indigenous people of the Arctic region to have darker skin despite having access to less UV light than people living at the equator.
They eat a lot of fish. If a group of people consume a lot of vitamin D, over generations, they do not have to have as light of skin to let the vitamin D in, so they will have darker skin even though they get less sunlight.
64
The tissue lining the mouth, organs of the digestive system, and inner surfaces of the body cavities is classified as
Epithelial
65
All of the following are types of connective tissue EXCEPT which one?
a.bone
b.adipose
c.muscle
d.cartilage
e.blood
C
66
In which one of the following locations would one expect to find cartilage?
a.between the vertebrae
b.between the skin and underlying muscles
c.in adipose tissue
d. in a tendon
A
67
Connects muscle to bone
Tendon
68
Connects bone to bone

70
a plane that divides the body into right and left sections
