Chapter 1-overview
This is the study of structural features of the body without the aid of a microscope
What is Gross Anatomy or Macroscopic Anatomy?
This is the atomic number for Hydrogen
What is 1?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
This type of tissue carries information from one part of the body to another
What is nervous tissue?
This stratum consists of 8 to 10 layers of keratinocytes bound together by desmosomes, and is often called the "spiny layer"
What is stratum spinosum?
This anatomical term is the opposite of lateral
What is medial?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three important members of this category
What are subatomic particles?
This is often the only visible organelle under a microscope
What is the nucleus?
Epithelial cells of this shape resemble hexagonal boxes from their apical surfaces
What are cuboidal epithelia?
The skin's properties of flexibility and resilience are collectively known as this
What is skin turgor?
This sagittal plane is offset from the midline of the body
What is parasagittal?
In this type of chemical reaction, a molecule breaks into smaller fractions
What is a decomposition reaction?
These are masses of insoluble materials in the cytoplasm
What are inclusions?
The simple squamous epithelium that lines the body cavities enclosing the lungs, heart, and abdominal organs
What is the mesothelium?
A localized abnormality in tissue organization
What is a lesion?
This structure is thermoregulatory control center of the body
What is the hypothalamus?
A large molecule consisting of a long chain of monomer subunits
What is a polymer?
This is the stage of the cell life cycle between mitotic divisions
What is Interphase?
These cells respond to local injury or infection by dividing to produce daughter cells that differentiate into fibroblasts, macrophages, or other connective tissue cells.
What are Mesenchymal cells?
This type of needle is used to introduce drugs into the subcutaneous layer
What is a hypodermic needle?
The science and study of the cause of diseases
What is etiology?
This reaction:
HCl + NaOH -> H2O + NaCl
is an example of a _________ system
What is a Buffer?
In this method of carrier-mediated transport, the carrier protein transports two different molecules or ions through the membrane in opposite directions.
What is antiport?
This syndrome is an inherited condition caused by the production of an abnormally weak form of fibrillin, a glycoprotein that gives strength and elasticity to connective tissues
What is Marfan Syndrome?
This secretion from sudoriferous glands has a pH range of 4.0–6.8.
What is sweat?
