__________ sweat glands are found primarily in the genital and axillary areas

Apocrine

Because these organelles are responsible for providing most of the ATP that the cell needs, they are often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell. They are the:

Mitochondria

Neurons

Proteins are assembled on these organelles

Ribosomes

The ducts of ____________ glands usually empty into a hair follicle but may also open directly on the skin surface.

Sebaceous

The plasma membrane not only provides a protective boundary for the cell but also determines which substances enter or exit the cell. We call this characteristic:

Selective Permeability

This type of muscle tissue is found in the walls of hollow organs. It has no striations, and its cells are spindle shaped

Smooth muscle

____________ epithelial cells are scalelike and flattened

Squamous

The most superficial layer of the epidermis is the:

Define Cell

The structural and functional unit of all living things

Group of cells that are anatomically similar and share a function are called:
