Hypothalamus
NB #23. Notes - Homeostasis
- Which of the following animals is homeothermic?
Cat
NB #24. Characteristics of Mammals
- How does your body make new skin?
Through the division of existing skin cells
NB #20. CLF-Skin Diagram, #28. WKST-Skin
- The protein that helps protect the skin and underlying tissue is
