25
What are the layers of the epidermis from superficial to deep?
S. Corneum, S. Lucidum (Thick Skin Only), S. Granulosum, S. Spinosum, S. Basale
26
Muscular System
Responsible for movement
27
What is the rule of nines?
How burn percentages are assesed
28
Superior
Above
29
Inferior
Below
30
Anterior
Front of the body
31
Where on your body do you have thick skin (5 Layers)?
Palms of hands and soles of feet only; only skin with the stratum lucidum
32
Posterior
Back of the body
33
Red and swollen and causes temporary discomfort; example: sunburn
First degree burn
34
Medial
Toward the midline
35
What is the main function of melanocytes in the S. Basale?
Produces melanin
36
Receptor (Sensor)
Detects change in the body
37
What are the deepest regions of the dermis and most superficial regions of the dermis?
The Reticular region is the deepest region of the dermis, while the Papillary region is the most superficial.
38
The bridge of the nose is __ to the eyes
Medial
39
What is Keratin?
A waterproof protein produced by keratinocytes located in the S. Corneum
40
Lateral
Away from the midline
41
Where do split ends form?
The tip of the hair shaft.
42
The eyes are ___ to the nose
Lateral
43
Intermediate
Between the medial and lateral
44
Effector
Infleunces the magnitude of stimulus and returns variable to homeostasis.
45
Proximal
Close to the point of the attachment; only used on the arms and legs
46
The knee is ____ to the ankle.
Proximal
47
Distal
Away from the point of attachment; only used on the arms and legs
48
Sebaceous Glands
(oil glands) found all over the body except soles of feet and palms and secretes sebum (keeps skin soft, anti-bacterial, more androgens)
49
The calf is ___ to the thigh
Distal
50
Superficial
Surface
51
Deep
Away from the surface of the body
52
How does the dermis help regulate body temperature?
When body temp. is high capillaries become swollen, radiating heat from the skin's surface. When body temp. is low, capillaries allow internal body temp to remain high.
53
What materials is hair composed of?
Dead, keratinized cells.
54
Eccrine Glands
(sweat glands) very numerous especially on the face and produces sweat in response to temperature. DOES NOT SMELL
55
Skeletal System
Helps the body muscles move
56
What is the function and composition of sweat?
Function: 1. helps dissipate excess heat 2. excretes waste products 3. acidic nature inhibits bacterial growth Composition: 1. mostly water 2. salts and vitamin C 3. some metabolic waste 4. fatty acids and proteins (apocrine only)
57
What is Gross Anatomy?
Able to be studied with the naked eye
58
Body Membrane Function
covers the body, lines body cavities, and cover organs within the body cavities
59
What is Anatomy?
The study of the shape and structure of the body and its parts.
60
What is Microscopic Anatomy?
Needs Microscope to be studied
61
What is the function of Hypodermis?
The hypodermis, or Subcutaneous tissue, anchors skin to underlying organs, serves as a shock absorber, and insolates deeper tissues.
62
What is physiology?
The study of how the body and its parts work or function.
63
apocrine sweat glands (sudoriferous glands)
found in armpits and around genitals; sweat that is released has proteins and fatty acids; sweat is released due to an emotional response
64
What are the survival needs?
1. Nutrients 2. Oxygen 3. Water 4. Normal Body Temperature 5. Atmospheric Pressure
65
Sagittal Selection
A sagittal selection divides the body(organ)into equal right and left.
66
Levels of organization for organs from smallest to biggest?
Cellular level, Tissue level, Organ level, Organ system level, Organismal level
67
Midsagittal Selection
Divides the body into equal right and left parts.
68
Transverse(cross section)
A transverse or cross-section divides the body(or organ) into superior and inferior.
69
Cutaneous Membrane
An Epithelial Tissue (skin) The only dry membrane, main barrier between the outside world and our body
70
Frontal(coronal)section
A frontal(coronal) sections divide the body into anterior and posterior.
71
Mucous Membranes
An Epithelial Tissue Lines the body cavities open to the body’s exterior, most secrete mucus
72
thoracic cavity
Contains heart and lungs
73
Abdominopelvic cavity
Digestive organs,m reproductive organs, and urinary tract organs
74
Craninal cavity
Houses the brain
75
Spinal cavity
Houses the spinal cord
76
Serous Membrane
- An Epithelial Tissue membrane - Found in body cavities NOT open to the exterior - Visceral & Parietal Layers separated by serous fluid
77
Synovial Membrane
A Connective Tissue Lines the walls of the joints capsules in moveable joints, contains synovial fluid
78
Nervous System
Responds to external and internal changes: body's control system
