2. In your lab notebook, please answer as best you can:
Week 18
Review Quiz
Bonus: List the hierarchy of life from atoms to organism.
- atom, molecule, cell, tissue, organ, organism
1. What does skin protect against?
• Damage, disease, dehydration, and temperature extremes
2. Name the three skin layers.
• Hypodermis, Dermis, Epidermis
3. True or False? Sebaceous glands in the epidermis produce sweat that
helps regulate body temperature.
• False (sebaceous glands are located in the dermis and produce oils)
4. Name three environmental factors that contribute to skin problems such
as dermatitis, acne, excessive wrinkling, and skin cancer.
• hormones, grease from cosmetics or environment, contact, stress,
soaps, dryness, allergens, sunlight, fair-skinned, radiation
5. What fills the cells of the hypodermis, helping to insulate and
cushion different parts of the body?
• Fat
3. Quick Review: Skin
What does skin protect against?
Name the 3 skin layers.
What is found in each layer?
How does skin regulate body
temperature?
List some environmental factors
that can cause dermatitis, acne,
or skin cancer?
Epidermis, Dermis, Hypodermis
damage, disease, dehydration, heat & cold
sweat glands & hair/pili
hormones, grease from cosmetics or environment, contact, stress,
soaps, dryness, allergens, sunlight, fair-skinned, radiation
Epidermis - tight, thin sheets, melanocytes, touch/pain/heat receptors
Dermis - hair, sweat & oil glands, nerves, blood vessels, collagen/elastin
Hypodermis - fat
8. What Your Bones Do For You
• Provide support
– otherwise we'd all be like slugs
• Protect fragile organs
– rib cage, skull, pelvis
• Allow for body movement
– muscles attach and move by contracting
• Produce blood cells
– white & red blood cells made in marrow
• Store important minerals
– calcium and phosphorus
9. Bone Shapes
Long Bone
Head – Body - Head
Femur, Tibia
Humerus
Radius, Ulna
Phalanges
Short Bone
As wide as they are long
wrist
ankles
Flat Bone
Provides Protection
Skull
Ribs
Scapula
Irregular Bone
don't fit in any other category
facial bones
ear bones
10. Specialized Bone Tissues
• Compact Bone
– solid/dense, hard, outer portion
• Spongy Bone
– filled with tiny holes, lighter weight
• Bone Marrow
– In central medullary cavity of bones
• Red bone marrow
– red & white blood cells produced here
– 200 billion new blood cells are made by
the bone marrow every day
• Yellow bone marrow
– Some fats stored here

11. Compact Bone Tissue
• Bone Matrix
– Special cells produce/deposit:
– Minerals for strength
» calcium & phosphate
– Collagen for flexibility
» long, stringy proteins
14. Joints – Where Bone Meets Bone
• Hinge
– elbow, knee, fingers
• moves in only one direction
• Gliding (Planar)
– Vertebrae, wrist, ankle
• Slides across planar surface
• Ball & Socket
– hip, shoulder
• Rotates nearly 360o
• Saddle
– Thumb
15. Levers in the Body
What type of lever is formed when the biceps contract?
Class 3
Lever
Class 1
Lever
What type of lever is formed when the triceps contract?
21. What are Muscles For?
• Your body has almost 650 different
muscles
• muscles comprise 40 - 50% of total
body weight
• What do they enable you to do?
– run, walk, jump, sit, sing, wave
– smile, chew, cough, blink, pee
– heart to beat, lungs to breathe
– food to move through body
23. Muscles you Don't Control
• Involuntary Muscles
– control via autonomic nerve
signals (not aware of or in
conscious control)
– smooth muscle
• digestive system (esophagus,
stomach, intestines)
– peristalsis (wave-like
motion)
• respiratory system (bronchi)
– cardiac muscle
• heart (myocardium)
24. Muscles You Control
• Voluntary Muscles
– conscious control (I choose to run,
smile, wave, etc.)
– skeletal muscle anchored to bone
• appendages (arms, legs, fingers, toes)
– biceps, triceps, deltoid, quadriceps, gluteals
• trunk (chest, back, abdomen)
– abdominals, pectorals, latissimus
dorsi, trapezius, sphincters
• head (face, cranium)
– jaw, eyes, tongue, facial
expression
25. Skeletal Muscles
• ONLY pull (cannot push)
• Work in pairs
– example: biceps & triceps
– one pulls (contracts/shortens) while
it's pair relaxes (lengthens)
Each muscle
moves one
bone which it
is anchored to
by a tendon
26. Well Connected Muscles
• Every single muscle cell is connected to a nerve that
signals it to contract
– seizures occur when the
brain sends signals to all
skeletal muscles at once,
causing opposing muscles to
contract at the same
time
• Every muscle cell has blood
vessels supplying it with
oxygen & nutrients
