INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM
This layer of skin produces fingerprints.
What is the dermal papillae (papillary layer of dermis)?
Red, painful skin without blisters is this type of burn.
What is a first-degree burn?
Osteons are found in this type of bone.
What is compact bone?
Bones with epiphyses and a diaphysis form through this process.
What is endochondral ossification?
These cells detect mechanical stress in bone.
What are osteocytes?
Contraction of this structure results in goosebumps.
What is the arrector pili muscle?
Blistering indicates damage extending through the epidermis and into part of this layer.
What is the dermis?
Yellow bone marrow is located in this cavity.
What is the medullary cavity?
Fontanelles close via this type of ossification.
What is intramembranous ossification?
Parathyroid hormone stimulates these cells to release calcium.
What are osteoclasts?
This gland is primarily responsible for thermoregulation.
What are eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands?
This gland is primarily responsible for thermoregulation.
What are eccrine (merocrine) sweat glands?
Interstitial lamellae are found in this type of bone tissue.
What is compact bone?
The predominant cell type in the proliferation zone of the epiphyseal plate
What are chondrocytes?
High parathyroid hormone levels put patients at risk for this bone condition.
What is osteoporosis?
Over-proliferation of these cells leads to the least malignant skin cancer.
What are basal cells?
When there are blisters on the skin of the patient, which layer of skin is damaged.
What is the Dermis?
This membrane lines the internal surfaces of bone.
What is the endosteum?
Longitudinal growth occurs at this structure.
What is the epiphyseal plate?
After parathyroid gland removal, bone density will do this.
What is increase?
Squamous cell carcinomas originate in this epidermal layer.
What is the stratum spinosum?
What cells are responsible for producing pigment that protects from UV light?
What are melanocytes?
Osteocytes reside in these small spaces.
What are lacunae?
Testosterone and estrogen most strongly affect this zone of the epiphyseal plate.
What is the proliferative zone?
Sacrificial bonds between these fibers help bone resist fracture.
What are collagen fibers?
