Bones of the skull are separated by immobile joints called sutures
Bones in the skull have many different names but what are the boundaries of each bone? Where they start and stop
Communication
Not a function of the skeletal system
Myofibrils
The contractile units of skeletal muscles are ________.
molecular transport through the membrane
a function of a plasma membrane protein
tactile corpuscles
a skin receptor for touch
organ
a structure that is composed of two or more tissue types that work together to perform specific functions for the body
melanocytes and keratinocytes work together in protecting the skin from UV damage when keratinocytes
accumulate the melanin granules on their superficial portion, forming a UV-blocking pigment layer
melanin
an inclusion, not an organelle
protection of the brain
best description for the function of the cranial bones
osteoclast
bones are constantly undergoing resorption (breaking bone down) for various reason. These cells accomplishes the process
the temporal bone
bones of the skull you would most associate with hearing and balance
a phospholipids bilayer surrounding the cell
describes the plasma membrane
mitosis
division of the genetic material within the nucleus
excretion of metabolic waste
expiration(breathing out) is how the body removes excessive carbon dioxide from the blood.
to maintain homeostasis
generally the result of the negative feedback process
tissue
group of cells that are similar in structure and perform a common or related function form a(n)
sarcoplasmic reticulum
structure in skeletal muscle cells functions in calcium storage
endomysium
surrounds the individual muscle cell
palms turned posteriorly
the anatomical position is characterized by all of the following except:
osteoblast
the cell responsible for secreting the matrix of the bone
simple squamous
the epithelia forms the walls of the air sacs across which gas exchange occurs in the lungs
a sarcomere
the functional unit of the skeletal muscle is called
the sphenoid is solid like a stone and provides the strength necessary to support the skull
the sphenoid bone is sometimes referred to as a "key stone" of the skull. This is due to the fact that
gross
the study of large body structures, visible to the naked eye, such as the heart
phagocytosis
vesicular transport process occurs primarily in some white blood cells and macrophages
