Fourth degree burn;
Burns down to the hypodermal layer and burn adipose tissue.
Fifth degree burn:
Burn muscle and destroy the skin (all three layers).
Sixth degree burn

Squamous cell
is a cancer that affects the keratinocytes and presents lesions commonly found on the scalp, ears, and hands.
Melanoma –
is a cancer characterized by the uncontrolled growth of melanocytes.
Basal cell
– is a form of cancer that affects the mitotically active stem cells (can be found on the head, neck, arms and back) Anywhere it has long exposer to the sun.
List the reasons for the skeletal system list 4 :
Structure and support, protection , storage and a factory.
Compact bone
dense osseous tissue that can
withstand compressive forces
spongey bone
The trabeculae are going to give spongy bone support. Spongy bone can distribute weight evenly. Spongy bone will be found on the tips of long bones such as femurs, the tibia, and the humerus.
flat bones list all four
Sternum, ribs, scapula, cranial bone
Long bone list all six
Humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia and fibula.
Short bones list two
Carpals and tarsals
Irregular list the two
vertebrae and os coxa
Sesamoid

- Osteoblasts:
Are bone cells which give rise to Osteocytes (Mature bone cells),
- Osteoclasts:
Are bone cells which break down bone matrix
- Osteocytes:
are mature bone cells which maintain the calcium salts which make up bone matrix.
