Apocrine Sweat Gland
Produces thinner sweat all over the body; activates at birth
Produces thicker sweat in armpits and groin; activates at puberty
Produces sweat that is odorless and clear; activates during exercise
Produces sweat that is primarily for thermoregulation; activates in response to heat
Blood
Fluid connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, and wastes
A type of muscle tissue responsible for movement
A type of epithelial tissue that covers body surfaces

The bottom surface attached to the basement membrane
The surface exposed to the external environment
The surface that faces the lumen of a cavity

Dense Regular Tissue
Collagen fibers in one direction; found in tendons and ligaments
Collagen fibers in multiple directions; found in skin
Elastic fibers in one direction; found in arteries
Loose fibers in various directions; found in organs
Hypodermis
Deepest layer made of adipose and loose connective tissue
Outer layer of skin composed of dead cells
Layer responsible for producing melanin
Layer that contains hair follicles and sweat glands
Elastic Connective Tissue
Contains collagen fibers; provides strength in tendons
Contains elastic fibers; allows stretching in arteries and lungs
Contains reticular fibers; supports soft tissues
Contains adipose cells; stores energy in fat
Dense Irregular Tissue
Collagen fibers in many directions; provides strength in dermis
Collagen fibers arranged in parallel; provides flexibility
Elastic fibers in a random arrangement; allows for stretch

Uncommon; three layers of column-shaped cells; found in the respiratory tract
Reticular Tissue
Forms framework to support lymphatic organs
Provides structural support to epithelial tissues
Facilitates gas exchange in the lungs
Stores fat in adipose tissue
Nail Matrix
Growth region of the nail located under the skin at the nail base
Part of the nail that protects the fingertip
Area where nail polish is applied
Region responsible for nail color
