Which of the following statements best describes the difference between stratum corneum and stratum basale?

The stratum basale has dividing cells; the stratum corneum does not.

The stratum basale contains blood vessels; the stratum corneum does not.

The stratum basale has lost all organelles; the stratum corneum has not.

The stratum corneum is directly next to the hypodermis; the stratum basale is more superficial.

Why do keratinocytes die once they reach the top of the epidermis?

They are cut off from nutrients.

They die as a result of releasing melanin.

Which statement best describes the difference between thick and thin skin?

The stratum lucidum is only found in thick skin.

Keratinocytes are only found in thin skin.

The stratum basale is only found in thick skin.

Keratohyalin is only found in the stratum basale.

What is the importance of melanin in the integumentary system?

Melanin provides protection against the damaging effects of UV radiation.

Melanin allows the skin to resist physical abrasion from friction.

Melanin is needed for the correct epidermal thickness in areas of the body that experience friction.

Melanin provides the substrate for vitamin D synthesis.

Candace is pan frying some chicken over the stovetop on high heat when she accidentally bumps the edge of her hand onto the pan. After running the burned area over cooled water, she notices that the area has begun to blister. This is due to damage between which two layers?

stratum basale and dermal papillary layer

dermal papillary layer and dermal reticular layer

Which of the following is the best definition of the axial skeleton?

the skull, rib cage, and vertebrae

all the bones in the body above the belt

all the bones in the body below the belt

all the bones that make up the limbs

Which of the following is NOT a normal function of the skeletal system?

to provide a reservoir of collagen

to work with muscles to move tissues

to protect the central nervous system from mechanical trauma

to provide a reservoir of calcium and phosphate

Compare the function of osteoclasts to osteocytes.

Osteocytes maintain existing bone, while osteoclasts resorb bone.

Osteoclasts resorb bone, while osteocytes make new bone.

Osteocytes resorb bone, while osteoclasts remodel bone.

Osteoclasts are stem cells that give rise to all of the other cells found within bones.

Predict what would happen if the epiphyseal plate never ossified.

Long bones would continue growing in length

Long bones would never grow to full length.

Compact bone would not form into long bones.

Calcium would be lost from epiphyseal lines.

What is the purpose of the costal groove of a rib?

It is a conduit for nerves and blood vessels to pass through.

It is where the numerically corresponding vertebrae articulates with the rib.

It is where the ribs attach to the sternum.

It is where the costal cartilage begins.

I anticipate that if the skull were to be comprised of a single piece of bone, it would lead to ______.

improved protection of the brain, but the skull would not allow for any changes in brain size during growth

a requirement for larger muscles to move the skull

smaller muscles needed to move the skull

many more fossa or foramina in the skull

Hypothesize how a pregnancy would affect vertebrae curvature.

The lumbar curvature would be greater.

The cervical curvature would be greater.

The lumbar curvature would be less.

The thoracic curvature would be less.

Which statement best distinguishes the difference between concentric lamellae and perforating canals inside bones?

Concentric lamellae are cylindrical structures within osteons; perforating canals are perpendicular channels that connect neighboring osteons.

Concentric lamellae are a passageway for nerves and blood vessels to enter osteons; perforating canals directly connect the fluid surrounding osteocytes.

Perforating canals are a passageway for nerves and blood vessels to enter osteons; concentric lamellae are small fluid-filled cavities containing osteocytes.

Concentric lamellae are small fluid-filled cavities containing osteocytes; perforating canals directly connect the fluid surrounding osteocytes.

Which statement best describes how constant exercise would change the likelihood of osteoporosis in older women?

Exercise at any age increases bone density, which is decreased by osteoporosis.

Exercise increases the removal of osteoporotic bone by osteoclasts.

Exercise can increase the likelihood of osteoporosis if there is insufficient phosphate in the diet.

Constant exercise has been shown to have no effect on the course of osteoporosis.
