Organization of the Human Body (part 1)
This involves the structure and composition of matter; it explains the chemical reactions that the elements of matter can produce; and it is the basis for producing and maintaining human homeostasis.
What is the basic knowledge of chemistry?
The nose to the lips is an example that illustrates this body position.
What is superior body position?
This layer of the epidermis is the innermost layer and plays a role in germinating new cells.
What is the stratum basale layer?
Capillaries leaking small amounts of blood into the tissues is considered normal with this type of skin.
What is aging skin?
This system includes skin and its appendages.
What is the integumentary system?
This is the study of how the body functions.
What is physiology?
These double-stranded molecules form genetic material called genes.
What is DNA?
Protection, thermoregulation, metabolism and sensation are primary function of this.
What is the integumentary system?
Consuming a well-balanced diet; drinking plenty of fluids; limiting sun exposure and using sunscreen are all measure to maintain this.
What is healthy skin?
This vitamin facilitates absorption of calcium and phosphorus.
What is Vitamin D?
This horizontal plane passes through the body, dividing it into upper and lower parts.
What is the transverse plane.
These molecules are responsible for transporting the genetic message to the ribosome in the cytoplasm.
What is RNA?
This layer of the skin contain hair, glands, blood vessels, and nerves.
What is the dermis layer?
Preventing the drying of skin is an important job of this.
What is sebum?
This type of epithelium has the ability to change shape.
What is transitional?
This is the ability of cells to build up, assimilate, or convert ingested substances.
What is anabolism?
During this, cell division produces eggs or sperm that contain half the total number of chromosomes.
What is meiosis?
These glands protect the tympanic membrane.
What are the ceruminal glands?
This occurs when melanocytes stop making melanin.
What is vitiligo?
This is the percentage of total number of chromosomes that results from the process of meiosis.
What is half? or 50%
The function of this tissue is to anchor and support other body structures.
What is connective tissue?
During this, cells divide into two parts to reproduce themselves.
What is mitosis?
An oscillating fan blowing currents of cool air across the surface of a warm body is an example of a loss of body heat by this method.
What is convection?
This is the primary reason older adults feel cold more easily.
What is having less subcutaneous fat?
This tissue type demonstrates a continuous state of regeneration.
What is epithelial?
