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?
The symbol H2O represents this substance.
What is water?
This organelle is the powerhouse of the cell
What is the mitochondria?
These are the four primary tissue types.
What are epithelial, connective, muscle, and neural (nervous)
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?
This is the atomic number for Hydrogen
What is 1?
This is often the only visible organelle under a microscope
What is the nucleus?
This type of tissue carries information from one part of the body to another
What is nervous or neural tissue?
Difference in skin color reflect distinct differences in the amount of these cells.
What are melanocytes?
This sagittal plane is offset from the midline of the body
What is parasagittal?
This is the most important high energy compound found in human cells.
What is ATP?
These are masses of insoluble materials in the cytoplasm
What are inclusions?
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 structure is thermoregulatory control center of the body
What is the hypothalamus?
Protons, neutrons, and electrons are the three important members of this category
What are subatomic particles?
This is the stage of the cell life cycle between mitotic divisions
What is Interphase?
These are the three classes of connective tissue.
What are Fluid, Supporting, and Connective tissue proper?
These are special smooth muscles in the dermis that, when contracted, produce "goose bumps".
What are arrector pili?
The science and study of the cause of diseases
What is etiology?
These are the building blocks of proteins.
What are amino acids?
Because of its chemical-structural composition, the cell membrane is also called ______.
What is the phospholipid bilayer?
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 secretion from apocrine glands has a pH range of 4.0–6.8.
What is sweat?
