What is the liquid inside a cell called
Cytoplasm
Centrioles Location
In the cytoplasm of animal cells near the nuclear envelope
Eccrine and apocrine glands: Functions and where they are located
Eccrine, found in almost all regions of the body, regulates body temperature. Apocrine, found in the skin of the armpits, production of pheromones(body odor)
A-B-C-D-E in describing a skin lesion
Asymmetry, border, color, diameter, and evolving
3 major types of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma
Stages of burns and what occurs in each stage
First degree burn(only affects the epidermis or outer layer of skin, no blister), Second degree burn(involves the epidermis and part of the dermis layer of skin, burn site is red, blistered), Third degree burn(destroys the epidermis and dermis, may also damage bones and tendons)
Functions of the skin
Provides a protective barrier, prevents loss of moisture, reduces harmful effects of UV radiation, helps regulate temperature, an immune organ to detect infections
Stages of the cell cycle
Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Who invented pH and why
Soren Sørensen, to make a convenient way of expressing acidity
PH scale: recognize acidity and alkalinity
0-6 is acidic, 7 is neutral, 8-14 is alkaline
Osmosis definition
A process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane
Diffusion definition
The movement of individual molecules of a substance through a semipermeable barrier from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
The four abdominopelvic quadrants
Right upper quadrant(RUQ), Right lower quadrant(RLQ), left upper quadrant(LUQ), left lower quadrant(LLQ)
Recognize the body planes
Frontal plane(divides body into anterior and posterior regions), Sagittal(divides body into left and right portions), transverse plane(divides body into superior and inferior portions), Ventral(anterior meaning front)
