Which cell in the epidermis produces a pigment to protect the nucelus from UV damage
Melanocytes
The type of skin cancers from lease malignant to most.
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma
True or False: Transcription occurs in the nucleus and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
True
These 2 layers are found in the dermis.
Papillary (superficial) and reticular (deep)
___ are cells that secrete unmineralized bone extracellular matrix called osteoid.
Osteoblast
Which layer of the epidermis is only found in thick skin
Stratum lucidum
This is used to evaluate burns and to estimate volume of fluid loss.
Rule of Nines
This enzyme is essential for transcribing the DNA template strand into a single mRNA strand.
RNA Polymerase
The dermis contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, epidermal hair follicles, oil/sweat glands and ___.
Nerves
____ are mitotically active stem cells in the periosteum and endosteum
Osteogenic/osteoprogenitor cells
TRUE or FALSE the stratum basale is the only layer of the epidermis that is vascularized (contains blood vessels/capillaries)
False
The bone disorder caused by poorly mineralized bones lacking sufficient hydroxyapatite in adults, and vitamin D deficiency in children.
Osteomalacia/rickets
Transcription and translation consists of these three stages.
Initiation, elongation, termination.
This region of the dermis sends finger like projections up into the epidermis, contains tactile corpuscles, and friction ridges (thick skin only).
Dermal papillae
As soon as a bone breaks, what is the first thing that happens?
A Hematoma forms
This layer accounts for 3/4 of epidermal thickness and functions to protect deeper cells from the environment, prevent water loss, protect from abrasion, and acts as a barrier
Stratum corneum
A group on diseases in which bone resorption exceeds deposit, and seen most in postmenopausal women.
Osteoporosis
Helicase, single stranded binding proteins, topoisiomerase, primase, DNA polymerase, ligase.
These are located in the reticular layer and sense vibration and pressure.
Lamellar/pacinian corpuscles
Where does interstitial growth occur and what are the 5 zones?
Epiphyseal plate; resting, proliferation, hypertrophic, calcification, ossification
Which layer of the epidermis consists of a single row of stem cells that are mitotically active?
Stratum Basale.
This disease is caused by excessive and haphazard bone deposit and resorption causing bone to grow fast and develop poorly.
Paget's disease
Determine the polypeptide chain for the following strand of DNA 3'-TACGGTAGCACT-5'

mRNA - AUG CCA UCG UGA
Anticodon - UAC GGU AGC ACU
peptide chain - Met-Pro-Ser-Stop
True or False: Flexure lines are found in the papillary layer, tightly secured to deeper structures, and visible on hands, wrists, fingers, soles, and toes.
False
This type of growth is reliant on increased stress from muscle activity or added weight.
Appositional growth
