CHAPTER 6: SKIN AND THE INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM OBJECTIVE 1: EXPLAIN WHY THE SKIN IS CALLED THE CUTANEOUS MEMBRANE The word ?cutaneous? means ?of the skin?. The term ?membrane? is referring to the thin layer that covers a space, cavity, or organ. The skin is the organ that is a thin layer in which covers the entire body. *REMINDER: the skin does more than just cover the body it carries multiple other duties in the body. OBJECTIVE 2: NAME THE LAYERS OF THE SKIN, DESCRIBE THE STRUCTURE (TISSUES) OF EACH, AND NAME A GENERAL FUNCTION OF EACH Epidermis: made of keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. Main Function is protection, also protects against moisture loss, prevents microorganisms / chemical entry, and prevents injury by penetration.

Skeletal System The human skeleton is divided into two main parts the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the vertebral column, the rib cage, and the skull. The appendicular skeleton consists of the pectoral girdles, the upper limbs, the pelvic girdle, and the lower limbs. Identify 20 major bones in the body. The following are major bones in the body: Cranium, mandible, femur, patella, scapula, ulna, clavicle, humorous, sternum, lumbar, vertebrae, cervical vertebrae, radius, pubis, carpals, metacarpals, sacrum, coccyx, tibia, phalanges, ilium, fibula, tarsals, and ribs. State the functions of the skeletal system.

Describe the characteristics of first, second and third degree burns. First degree: epidermal damage; redness; minor pain ? Second degree: blisters; some dermal damage; pain; regeneration possible ? Third degree: dermal layer destroyed; no pain b/c nerve endings destroyed; requires grafting b/c regeneration impossible ? What skin layer provides the main defense against bacteria and injury (book 155)? Stratum corneum (lots of layers and keratinized) What is another name for an outward thickening of the stratum corneum (horny layer) of the skin (book 152)? Callus (from persistent friction which increases cell production) ? Which layer of epidermal cells is mitotic? Stratum basale (germinativum) where new keratinocytes are being formed

Alexandra Odinlo IB Chemistry 1 August 26, 2013 Science and Human Nutrition Human Digestion Digestion?is the process of breaking down the foods that we eat into forms of energy that the body can use as energy. The Digestive process is one that involves the body?s biological mechanical works as well as chemical means to breakdown nutrients from different types of foods. Mechanical digestion?begins the digestion process. In your mouth as your teeth begin to mash food into smaller pieces to allow you to swallow them. Soon after saliva in your mouth bring about the chemical changes to your food. Chemical and mechanical parts of digestion work hand in hand toward the goal of providing nourishment for your body.

North Korea Today North Korea is the epitome of modern day slavery. As a result of the work of Kim Il-sung, no citizen of North Korea will ever taste the freedom that many others have laid their lives down for. Theirs is a government so corrupt that citizens live in fear of challenging it and so unforgiving that children must be brainwashed from birth for their own survival.

Biology B3 B3.1 Exchange of materials 1.1 Osmosis Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a partially permeable membrane (e.g. a cell membrane) It?s random and re quires no energy 1.2 Active transport Cells may need to absorb substances which are in short supply, i.e. against the concentration gradient. To do this they use active transport to absorb substances across partially permeable membranes Active transport requires the use of energy released in respiration Cells are able to absorb ions from dilute solutions. For example, root cells absorb mineral ions from the dilute solutions in the soil by active transport Glucose can be reabsorbed in the kidney tubules by active transport

Chapter 13 - Cardiovascular SystemPRIVATE ? 13.1 Introduction (p. 329; Fig. 13.1) A. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, and vessels, arteries, capillaries and veins. B. A functional cardiovascular system is vital for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them. 13.2 Structure of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.2) A. The heart is a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump within the thoracic cavity. B. Size and Location of the Heart (p. 329) 1. The average adult heart is 14 cm long and 9 cm wide. 2. The heart lies in the mediastinum under the sternum; its apex extends to the fifth intercostal space. C. Coverings of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.3) 1. The pericardium encloses the heart.
