20
Q

Distal

A

Away from the body (used for appendages)

21
Q

Deep

A

Toward the center of the body or body part

22
Q

Chemical Level made up of..?

A

Atoms, molecules, macromolecules, cytoplasm

23
Q

Organelle Level

A

Collections of molecules organized in a way so they can perform individual functions. Found inside cells and cannot function outside cell wall.

24
Q

What are Cells?

A

Cells are the smallest and most numerous units that possess and exhibit characteristics of life.

It has no ability it influence its environment so if conditions are bad it will die.

25
Q

Tissue Level

A

Organizations of similar cells specialized to perform a specific function.

26
Q

Organ Level

A

Organization of similar different kinds of tissues to perform a special function. They represent discrete and functionally complex operational units.

27
Q

System Level

A

Varying numbers and kinds of organs arranged to perform complex functions. There are 11 systems.

28
Q

Rostral

A

Toward the tip of the nose

29
Q

Cranial

A

Toward the head end of the body.

30
Q

Caudal

A

Toward the tail end of the body

31
Q

Epithelial Tissue

A

Main job- is to cover body surfaces. Surface of the skin, linings of the mouth, intestine, and urinary bladder. Also forms glands which structures secrete useful substances and excrete wastes (sweat glands, salivary glands, and mammary glands).

32
Q

Connective Tissue

A

Holds the body together (connects cells) and gives it support. Ranges from very soft to very firm.

33
Q

What is Adipose Tissue? And it’s main Functions (4).

A 
A type of connective tissue.
- Provides and insulating layer to prevent heat from escaping the body  
- storage for food 
- storage for fat soluble vitamins 
- Source for energy 
Also know as Fat.
34
Q

Nervous Tissue

A

Transmits information around the body and controls body functions. It transmits sensory information from the body to the brain, processes info and send instructions to out to tell body how to react to changing conditions.

35
Q

Muscle Tissue

A

Moves the body inside and out. 3 types- skeletal, cardiac, and smooth.

36
Q

What are the 6 functions of the skin? (SHAPES)

A

Sensation, heat regulation, absorption, protection, excretion, and secretion.

37
Q

What doesn’t cross into the epidermis?

A

Blood Vessels

38
Q

How is Vitamin D produced by the body?

A

During sunlight and closure UV radiation penetrates into the epidermis where it is synthesized into vitamin D. Thanks

39
Q

What fibers allow the skin to be stretchable?

A

Elastic Fibers.

40
Q

What layer of the skin is thin and transparent?

A

Stratum Lucidum

41
Q

Integumentary System

A

The integumentary system comprises the skin and its appendages acting to protect the body from various kinds of damage, such as loss of water or damages from outside.
