Q

Ribosomes can be found floating within the _________ or attached to the ___________ __________

A

Cytoplasm, Endoplasmic Reticulum

28
Q

are organelles within
eukaryotic cells that produce adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), through process of cellular respiration—
specifically, aerobic respiration

A

Mitochondria

29
Q

the main energy molecule used by the cell.

A

ATP

30
Q

They perform cellular
respiration. This means it takes in nutrients from the
cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy. This
energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out
various functions.

A

Mitochondria

31
Q

organelle in eukaryotic cells that stores and modifies proteins for specific functions and prepares
them for transport to other parts of the cell. they are usually near the cell nucleus and consists of a stack of flattened sacs

A

Golgi apparatus

32
Q

In ___________ cells, the Golgi apparatus is the
“manufacturing and shipping center” of the cell.

A

eukaryotic

33
Q

Golgi body structure is formed with vesicle like sacs called _____________and the Golgi body function is
to process proteins and sort cellular proteins for
delivery inside or outside the cell.

A

cisternae

34
Q

An organ system that Provides protection, regulates temperature,
prevents water loss, and helps produce vitamin D.

They Consists of skin, hair, nails, and sweat glands.

A

Integumentary System

35
Q

It produces a protective pigmentation to protect the body
against excessive exposure from the sun. It helps
produce the body’s supply of

A

Vitamin D/ The sunshine vitamin

36
Q

The epidermis has 4 strata

A
  • Stratum Corneum
  • Stratum Lucidum
  • Stratum Granulosum
  • Stratum Germinativum
37
Q

outermost strata of the epidermis. It is mostly dead cells, filled with a protein substance called keratin. It is thicker on the
soles of the feet than on the eyelids where there is less
pressure

A

Stratum Corneum

38
Q

a translucent layer lying directly beneath the corneum. It
may not even exist in thinner skin. Cells in this layer are also dead or are in the process of dying.

A

Stratum Lucidum

39
Q

one or more layers of cells starting to die and become hard. They are
in the process of keratinization → becoming fibrous
protein similar to that in hair and nails

A

Stratum Granulosum

40
Q

A process where the cells become fibrous protein similar to that in hair and nails

A

Keratinization

41
Q

composed of several layers of living cells capable of cell division.
It is the innermost layer of the epidermis and contains
melanin

A

Stratum Germinativum

42
Q

the pigment that gives color to the skin

A

melanin

43
Q

The more abundant the melanin → the _______ the skin color.

A

darker

44
Q

Damage to the Stratum Germinativum, such as in severe burns, requires skin grafts

A

skin grafts

45
Q

beneath the epidermis and is
composed of connective tissue. It contains the lymphatics, nerves, nerve endings, blood vessels,
sebaceous and sweat glands, elastic fibers, and hair
follicles.

A

Dermis

46
Q

The dermis is divided into two layers:

A

Papillary layer and Reticular Layer

47
Q

is arranged into
microscopic structures that form ridges. These are
the finger- and footprints

Papillary layer

48
Q

-is beneath the
papillary layer; it is a white fibrous tissue that supports the blood vessels

A

Reticular layer

49
Q

the subcutaneous tissue.

A

dermis

50
Q

connective tissue. It supports, nourishes, insulates,
and cushions the skin.

51
Q

a threadlike structure formed by a group of cells that develop within a hair follicle or socket.

A

Hair

52
Q

s attached to the side
of each follicle. It is stimulated by skin irritants,
emotional arousal, or cold temperatures, and reacts by
contracting. This causes goose flesh or goose
pimples.

A

Pilomotor Muscle

growth.

A

Hair Papilla

54
Q

At the base of each hair follicle is a ____ enclosing a loop of capillaries

A

bulb

55
Q

covers the hair shaft like shingles on a roof, protecting it from
the elements and chemicals, and from losing
moisture.

A

Transparent cuticle

56
Q

provides most of the hair’s
weight. It contains melanin which provides color to
the hair, stores oils, provides flexibility and elasticity,
and adds shape to the hair.

A

Cortex

57
Q

a inner hollow core that
runs the length of the shaft

A

Medulla

58
Q

are oil glands. They have
tiny ducts that open into each hair follicle.

A

Sebaceous Glands

59
Q

Each sebaceous gland secretes _____, which lubricates the hair and skin. The amount of secretion
varies with age, puberty, and pregnancy.

A

Sebum

60
Q

hard keratin structures that protect the ends of the fingers and toes.

A

Fingernails and toenails

61
Q

begins several millimeters
into the finger and extends to the edge of the white, crescent-shaped lunula. This is where the growth
occurs approximately 1 mm. per week.

A

Nail root, Germinal matrix, or nail bed

62
Q

It fuses the nail plate and the skin of the finger together to form a waterproof barrier

A

Cuticle/Eponychium

63
Q

under the free edge of the nail.
It also creates a waterproof barrier, fusing the skin of
the finger to the underside of the nail plate

A
