Beauty is only skin deep
This type of tissue stores energy, provides thermal insulation and is found in the hypodemis.
What is Adipose Tissue?
This cellular organelle is especially abundant in muscle cells because of the great demand for ATP.
What is mitochondria?
This type of neuroglial cell functions to myelinate neurons in the white matter of the spinal cord.
What is the Oligodendrocyte?
This region of the brain is where second order neurons synapse with third order neurons.
What is the thalamus?
This type of bone tissue is composed of trabeculae and is surrounded by red marrow.
What is spongy (cancellous) bone?
This type of cell is found in the stratum basale and produces a substance that provides UV protection.
What is a melanocyte?
This basic contracting unit of the muscle cell runs from Z disc to Z disc.
What is a sarcomere?
An inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP) has this effect on the dendrite or soma membrane.
What is hyperpolarization?
This region of the brain houses the cell bodies of the upper motor neurons.
What is the frontal lobe (pre-central gyrus)?
This division of the nervous system would inform of the brain of pain in the bones and joints.
What is the somatic sensory division?
This term describes an abnormal redness of the skin due to dilation of the cutaneous blood vessels.
What is Erythema?
This movement by the shoulder brings the arm away from midline in the frontal plane.
What is abduction of the glenohumeral joint?
This structure of the peripheral nervous system contains the soma of a first order neuron.
What is the dorsal root ganglion?
This area of the brain exerts master control over the autonomic nervous system and endocrine system.
What is the hypothalamus?
This action by this joint occurs due to contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle.
What is plantarflexion of the talocrural joint?
When a cell enters this phase of the cell cycle, it is committed to dividing and forming 2 new cells.
What is the S phase in which the DNA is replicated?
This ligand-gated channel allows sodium to enter the muscle cell by facilitated diffusion.
What is an acetylcholine receptor?
This area of the axon of a myelinated neuron has a high concentration of Voltage-gated sodium channels.
What is the Node of Ranvier?
This area of the brain plays an important role in coordination of movement and memory of learned motor skills.
What is the cerebellum?
This type of bone GROWTH occurs due to chondrocytes multiplying and later being replaced by bone tissue.
What is interstitial growth?
This level of control within the body occurs when the action of an effector amplifies the change to which it was stimulated.
What is positive feedback regulation?
This term describes one somatic nerve fiber and all the muscle fibers it supplies.
What is a motor unit?
Atropine is used to dilate the eye for an ophthalmic exam due it's ability to inhibit/antagonize this cellular structure.
What is an acetylcholine receptor?
A stroke that causes damage to this specific area of the brain results in non-sensical speech and difficulty choosing the correct word.
What is Wernicke's area?
Hypercalcemia causes the secretion of this hormone by the thyroid gland.
What is calcitonin?
