Answer 8

Net-like structure of Elastin and Collagen fibers. These fibers support the skin structure and allow movement and elasticity.

Question 9

What does the top layer of the dermis contain

Answer 9

Fibroblast, Triglycerides, Blood vessels, nerves, touch receptors, and phagocytes

Question 10

Describe the structure and link the structure to determine the function of the top layer of the dermis

Answer 10

Much thinner than the bottom layer of the dermis, the top layer extends to the basement layer of the epidermis. Forming a strong bind that connects like interlocking fingers.

Question 11

State the 4 functions of the Hypodermis

Answer 11

Storing energy ( Triglycerides), Connecting the reticular layer to bones and muscles, insulating your body, and protecting the body from harm

Question 12

Answer 12

Skeletal, Axial, Appendicular

Question 13

What are the functions of the skeletal muscles?

Answer 13

Movement, sustaining body posture and positioning, maintaining body temperature, storing nutrients, and stabilizing joints

Question 14

Give examples of skeletal muscles

Answer 14

Deltoids, abdominals, hamstrings

Question 15

What are the functions of Axial muscles?

Answer 15

Provide posture and support to the axial skeleton

Question 16

Give an example of the Axial muscles

Answer 16

The muscles in the neck and head support the skull with posture/stability

Question 17

What is the main function of the Appendicular muscle?

Answer 17

To provide support to limbs that are attached to bones

Question 18

What is Red bone marrow?

Answer 18

RBM is the synthesis site of Red blood cells, White blood cells, and platelets. RBCs carry oxygen to the lungs are organs when deprived. WBC strengthens our immune/lymphatic system.

Question 19

What is Yellow bone marrow?

Answer 19

YBM is the storage of Triglycerides and production of RBC during life-threatening situations.

Question 20

What does YBM do during life-threatening situations?

Answer 20

When our body experiences physical trauma, losing too much blood, YBM transforms into RBM to produce blood cells.
