Nails are made of epidermal cells that produce hard ______. Nails grow from the nail _____ , which is an area of multiplying cells at the base of the nail and under the ______ , the skin around the nail.

melanocytes melanin UV DNA inflammatory painful peel keratin matrix cuticle continuously nail bed edge.
Below the epidermis is the ______. _______ fibers make this layer resistant to stretching. This layer also contains blood vessels, sensory receptors, hair ______ , and glands for _______ and ______.

Below the skin, it is called the hair _____ . Hair is made of dead _______ cells that have become ________ or hardened. Hair on the head grows for up to ______ years. Then the follicle rests, the old hair is shed, and a new one begins. It is normal to lose ______ hairs a day from your scalp. Hair ______ the top of the head and prevents heat loss.

______ is a coolant made of water and salt that comes from coiled ______ glands in the ______ and exits the skin through sweat ______. At puberty, ______ odor becomes a problem because ______ sweat glands in the groin, ______ , and soles of the feet become active. These glands release sweat mixed with ______, which feeds odor-causing ______. Washing daily with soap and water will reduce ______ odor. ______ slows the growth of bacteria, and ______ plugs the sweat ______ .

______ or sebaceous glands increase production at puberty, which may cause ______ , a skin infection in the hair ______. ______ is clear oil that lubricates the hair as it grows. This oil and ______ produced by the epidermal cells combine and block the channel for the hair in the hair ______ . If the blockage happens at the surface of the skin, it is called a ______ because melanin in the mixture that is exposed to air turns dark. If the blockage happens under the skin, it is called a ______ . Bacteria thrive on the blocked oil and start an infection, called a ______ . Flare-ups of ______ can be reduced by cleansing the skin daily, taking a vitamin ______ supplement, and getting enough ______.

The first time your ______ system encounters a disease-causing organism, it attacks using innate immunity, which features the ______ blood cells. They trigger inflammation, which makes the capillaries more permeable. They also release chemicals that draw the WBCs to the infection site. The most common WBC is the ______, which ingests organisms by ______. Many of these cells die in the battle against infection, and yellow gel may form. This is ______, made of dead ______ , cell parts, and fluid. Other WBCs are the ______, which cleans up after the neutrophils; the ______ , which releases ______ to increase inflammation; and the ______ , which calms down inflammation. ______ inflammation occurs when the infection becomes widespread throughout the body and causes a fever. Fevers should be treated with ______ ; but if the person is having trouble sleeping, medicine can be given to reduce the fever and relieve ______ aches. ______ that fight bacteria are given only under the direction of a physician.
