Front 15

A short fiber that carries messages in the form of nerve impulses to the nerve cell body is called a

Back 15

dendrite

Front 16

Some nerve fibers, like telephone wires, are encased in a protective covering or sheath. This fatty insulating material is called

Back 16

myelin

Front 17

The thickest layer of the heart wall is formed by cardiac muscle or

Back 17

myocardium

Front 18

Connective tissue that grows to repair a wound forms a

Back 18

scar

Front 19

Muscle tissue is classified into three types. That which forms the walls of the organs within the ventral body cavities is called

Back 19

Smooth muscle

Front 20

Skeletal muscle is usually under the control of the will. It is therefore described as

Back 20

voluntary muscle

Front 21

The supportive fabric everywhere in the body is

Back 21

connective tissue

Front 22

The study of diseases in populations is called

Back 22

epidemiology

Front 23

Living organisms that cause many types of illness through the world are called

Back 23

pathogens

Front 24

The study of parasites, including protozoa and worms is called

Back 24

parasitology

Front 25

Substance produced by living cells that have the power to kill or arrest the growth of bacteria are called

Back 25

Antibiotics

Front 26

A relatively severe disorder of short duration is said to be

Back 26

acute

Front 27

Diseases that persist over a long period of time are said to be

Back 27

chronic

Front 28

Disease conditions noted by the patient and which are evidence a physician or other healthcare professional can observe are called

Back 28

Symptons

Front 29

A course of treatment that is prescribed by the physician is called

Back 29

therapy

Front 30

A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on the patient's condition is called a

Prognosis

Front 31

In its role as a system, the skin is called the

The protein in the epidermis that thickens and protects the skin is

Back 32

keratin

Front 33

Certain glands produce sweat; these are the

Back 33

sudoriferous glands

Front 34

The tissue layer under the skin is described as

Back 34

subcutaneous

Front 35

The oily secretion on skin and hair is produced by

Back 35

sebaceous glands

Front 36

several layers of epithelial cells form the outermost part of the skin, the...

Back 36

epidermis

Front 37

since the epidermis is lacking in blood vessels, nutritive substances reach the epidermal cells from the ________________ layer

Back 37

dermis

Front 38

The framework of the dermis is composed of...

Back 38

connective tissue

Front 39

Skin color is due largely to the presence of the pigment called

dialate

Front 41

Modified sweat glands are found in the eyelid edges. These are known as

Back 41

cilliary glands

Front 42

In its role of protecting deeper tissues the skin prevents drying and invasion by

pathogens

Front 43

The skin's function of obtaining information from the environment is due to the presence of a variety of sensory nerve endings. One general term for these is

The subcutaneous tissue that underlies the skin is also called the

Back 44

superficial fascia

A local wound or injury to the skin is called a

The "true skin" which has a framework of elastic connective tissue and is well supplied with blood vessels and nerves is called the

Back 46

dermis

Front 47

Medications are given by mouth or by injection more often than they are applied to the skin. This is because the skin has limited powers of
