Body Systems
This body system has slower communication between systems and creates gradual, long term changes within other body systems
Endocrine System
This is the name of two identical atoms binding together
element
Why manual therapist need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the skin
Skin is the communication interface between therapist and client
This skin layer is avascular
Epidermis
This is why manual therapist should be aware of the warning signs for cancer
They regularly inspect large areas of skin which can lead to early identification and treatment
This system protects the body, regulates water and body temperature, along with being a large general sensory organ
Integumentary
If a nucleus duplicates the DNA, and divides to create 2 identical nuclei, this process is called:
Mitosis
The three types of epithelial membranes in the body
Cutaneous, serous, mucous
This is the anatomic name for sweat glands
Sudoriferous
These are the ABCD's of skin cancer
Asymmetry, Borders, Color, Diameter
This system eliminates solid waste and breaks down food
Digestive system
This is the most abundant type of tissue in the body
Connective
This membrane lines the digestive tract
Mucous
These are the types of stimulus that cutaneous receptors of skin is sensitive to
Touch, pressure, pain, temperature
This layer of skin is made of fat tissue
Hypodermis
This system communicates, coordinates, and controls all other body systems
Nervous
This muscle tissue is striated and voluntary
This membrane type lines the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
Serous
This is why the skin is intricately linked to the brain
The nervous and integumentary systems were part of the ectoderm layer of an embryo
Knowing bone landmarks can help locate specific soft tissue structures. Why else is this important?
Identify postural and movement dysfunctions
This system regulates oxygen and carbon dioxide
Respiratory System
This is the extensible and stretch resistant type of connective tissue fiber
Collagen
These are the functions of the integumentary system
Protection, absorption, excretion, synthesis of vitamin D, temperature regulation, and sensation
These are the four categories of contagious skin conditions
Bacterial, fungal parasitic, and viral
There are this many vertebrae in the thoracic spine
