6 features of the chordates
- Notochord
- Pharyngeal slits

What is the formula of hydroxyapatite?
Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2
What part of the bones provides the hardness?
Hydroxyapatite
How many bone cell types is there & names?
Osteocytes: are mature bone cells
Osteoblasts: lay down hydroxyapatite & collagen to build bone
Osteoclasts: erode & break down bone so it can be remodeled
To what systems do mammary glands/breasts belong to?
Integumentary system
(Mammary glands - a skin gland, not part of the reproductive system)
What are the 4 basic types of tissue?

What are the 3 layers of skin in the epidermis?
Epidermis: ectodermal, stratified squamous epithelium (top layer & trans-segmental)
Dermis: mesodermal, collagen, elastic fibers, papillary layer, & reticular layer (middle layer & segmental)
Hypodermis: mesodermal fat storage (deeper/bottom layer)
What is inside the somites?
Dermatome:
Myotome: develops into muscle
Sclerotome: membrane
