This tissue can be found in the walls of large blood vessels.
Dense Elastic Connective Tissue
The patella falls under this bone (shape) classification.
Sesamoid
What are the layers of the dermis (superficial to deep), and the tissues they are composed of?
Papillary: loose areolar CT
Reticular: dense irregular CT
This condition is typically caused by liver dysfunction and causes yellowing of the skin and sclera.
Jaundice
Calcium phosphate crystals
This type of secretion causes bursting of the gland, leaving dead cell fragments in the secretion.
Holocrine
This structure allows for blood cell formation A.K.A hematopoiesis.
Red bone marrow
The layer of the epidermis where active mitotic division occurs.
Stratum basale
What are the three types of skin cancer from least deadly to most?
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma
What is the first step of fracture repair?
Hematoma
This structure increases surface area, thus increasing absorption and is found in your small intestine.
Microvilli
These mitotically active stem cells are located in the endosteum and periosteum of compact bone, and when stimulated differentiate into osteoblasts.
Osteogenic or osteoprogenitor cells
This is why UV light is a double-edged sword. AKA, why do we need UV light, and what happens if we get too much.
UV light is needed for vitamin D production, but too much can lead to cancer.
This process is what happens when nonregenerative tissue is damaged, and is how a tissue loses its function.
Fibrosis
This cell predominates in the hypodermis layer due to its tissue type.
Adipocytes
This is the predominant cell type in connective tissue proper.
Fibroblasts
This type of growth is stimulated by growth hormone and causes your bones to lengthen.
Interstitial growth
These cells predominate in the stratum spinosum and they are phagocytic and antigen-presenting.
Dendritic cells
This type of fracture is when the bone shatters into pieces.
Comminuted fracture
This layer of the epiphyseal plate is responsible for plate lengthening.
Proliferative
Name the three germ layers and what they give rise to.
Mesoderm: muscle and CT
Endoderm: GI tract (digestive system), linings
Ectoderm: epidermis and neurons
This hormone takes calcium from your bones to increase blood calcium levels (bone resorption).
Parathyroid hormone
Daily Double
Sort the steps of endochondral ossification in order.
This type of bone disease is caused by low vitamin D and low calcium in your diet.
Osteomalacia
This process occurs during fetal development, and turns hyaline cartilage into bone.
Endochondral ossification
