what is the primary cause of skin cancer?
Skin cancer begins when the sun (or tanning bed) exposure overwhelms
the protection provided by p53
How can cancer be prevented?
To reduce risk of developing skin cancer, avoid exposure to high-intensity
sunlight, use sunscreens and sunblocks, and examine the skin regularly.
What are the types of skin cancer?
cutaneous carcinomas (basal cell, squamous cell) cutaneous melanomas
(melanocarcinomas, malignant melanomas)
Which type of skin cancer is more likely to develop?
cutaneous carcinomas
The tissue through which gases are exchanged between the blood and the
air in the lungs is
simple squamous epithelium
Body heat is lost primarily by
,radiation
Bone cells form concentric circles around longitudinal tubes called
central canals
A body has been sectioned in such a way that there is one whole lung per
section and the urinary bladder has been split in half. What type of section
is this?
sagittal
Which type of tissue lines the follicles of the thyroid glands?
simple cuboidal epithelium
The anaerobic reactions of cellular respiration take place in the
cytoplasm
Which action is the main function of the digestive system?
absorption of nutrients
A cell is surrounded by an extremely thin, flexible membrane. Why is the
membrane selectively permeable?
It allows some substances to pass through and excludes others based on
size, polarity, and other factors.
,What type of tissue is adipose tissue?
connective tissue
The human integumentary system includes
skin, nails, hair follicles, and sweat glands
DNA and RNA differ in that
DNA holds genetic information and RNA uses that information to
synthesize protein.
Maintaining a stable internal environment typically requires
negative feedback mechanism
Transcription and translation differ in that
transcription produces RNA and translation produces protein.
Endoplasmic reticulum is best described as a
network of interconnected membranes
The major blood vessels that supply the skin are in the
dermis
, Matter is composed of elements, which are composed of __________.
atoms
For which of the following organelles are the structure and function
correctly described?
Endoplasmic reticulum—a network of interconnected membranes forming
sacs and canals that packages protein molecules for secretion
Which of the following are cellular fragments?
blood platelets
Homeostasis exists if concentrations of water, nutrients, and oxygen in
the body are balanced and heat and pressure __________.
remain within certain limited ranges
An isotonic solution
has the same osmotic pressure as the cells in the solution
Which of the following characteristics of life and their descriptions is
correct?
Circulation—the movement of substances in body fluids
Which of the following characteristics is used to name tissue types?
