This anatomical word refers to the nose
What is nasal?
The deepest layer of epidermal cells that are attached to the basement membrane
What is the stratum basale?
This type of cell junction directly connects the cytoplasm of the two cells
What are gap junctions?
The type of cell that lives within a lacuna in the bone matrix.
What is an osteocyte?
The primary ossification centers forms here during endochondral ossification.
What is the diaphysis?
The anatomical term related to the knee
What is patellar?
This is the waterproofing protein that fills the cells in the upper layers of the epidermis
What is keratin?
This type of cell junction anchors the epithelium to the base membrane.
What are hemidesmosomes?
Blood and lymph are this type of connective tissue
What are fluid connective tissues?
What is a synovial joint (or diarthrosis)?
What is the sagittal plane?
The glossy layer of the epidermis that is only present in thick skin
What is the stratum lucidum?
This type of tissue is mostly found lining urinary tract organs like the bladder.
What is a transitional epithelium?

This plane divides the body along the superior-inferior axis
What is a transverse plane?
Goosebumps are caused by a contraction of this muscle
What is the arrector pili?
In this type of secretion, the apical sides of glandular cells go through cycles of maturation, breakdown, and regrowth.
What is apocrine secretion?
This protein fiber tend to look dark and wavy when viewed under a microscope.
What are elastic fibers?
The body releases this when blood calcium levels are elevated
What is calcitonin?
