These cells can develop into many different cell types.
Stem cells
This tissue type covers the body's surface and lines body cavities and many organs.
Epithelial tissue
What makes up the extracellular matrix of blood?
Plasma
Which cells clean up cellular debris and bacteria in a wound?
White blood cells (WBCs)
New skin cells are produced here.
Stratum basale
This function of the skin keeps bacteria from entering the body.
Protection
This is a sign of lung disease.
Clubbing of the nails
This type of skin cancer metastasizes quickly and is often fatal if it is not treated early.
Malignant melanoma
This characteristic distinguishes connective tissue from other types of tissue.
It's extracellular matrix
This structure nourishes each hair.
Papilla
This structure transmits impulses to the soma.
Dendrites
A first degree burn only involves this structure.
Epidermis
This type of epithelium lines alveoli and allows for diffusion.
Simple squamous epithelium
What causes albinism?
A genetic lack of melanin
These three shapes are associated with epithelial cells.
Squamous (flat), cuboidal, and columnar
Approximately how much fluid does the body lose per day by insensible perspiration?
500 mL
This is an inflammation of the skin characterized by itching and redness, often as a result of exposure to chemicals or toxins.
Dermatitis
What other names exist for skeletal muscle?
Striated and voluntary
This material is connective tissue that fills in the wound cavity and forms scar tissue.
Granulation tissue
This skin layer contains nerve endings, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands.
Dermis
What are the four categories of tissue?
Neural, connective, muscular, and epithelial
Which fibers are found in connective tissue?
Collagenous, reticular, and elastic
What are the types of muscle tissue?
Cardiac, smooth, and striated
This type of burns destroy nerve endings in the dermis, which prevents sensory input from reaching the brain, making them not painful initially.
Full-thickness burns
A patient sustains second and third degree burns on the front of both legs from the thigh to the ankle and second degree burns on the front of her right arm. Using the rule of nines, what percentage of the patient's body has been burned?
22.5%
