____ is the layer finger prints come from - dermis
fat cells are also called ____. - lipocytes
Hair root extends down into the dermis to the ____. - follicle
White hair occurs in the absence of ____. - melanin
Red hair is a result of an altered melanin that has ____ in it. - iron
epidermal cells are created in the ____ - basal layerThe muscle tissue consists of two
types of myofilaments called? - thick and thin myofilaments
The basic structural unit of skeletal muscle - sarcomere
When seen under a microscope, these units appear in skeletal muscle. - dark & light
stripes, or
cross striations
Repeating units of sarcomeres are separated by these - Z lines or Z disks
The shortening of muscle fiber requires this form of energy: - ATP
The 3 primary functions of the muscular system: - movement,
posture or muscle tone, and heat production
A muscle's insertion bone moves toward? - its origin bone
Tension during muscle lengthening is called? - eccentric contraction

The contractions of the muscles produce most of this, which maintains the body
temperature. - heat
When the muscles contract too often, the stores of this energy become depleted - ATP
The substance created when exercise requirements exceed the oxygen supply. - lactic
acid
, The type of contraction that most often results in movement of a joint - isotonic
contraction
The type of contraction in which muscle does not shorten, and no movement takes
place - isometric contraction

as bending. - flexion
The positions of the hand resulting from rotating the forearm. - supination and pronation
Ankle and foot movements are called this. - inversion & eversion
The integumentary system protects the
body from? - environmental damage
The ____ forms a protective barrier
shielding the body from the elements and
pathogens, as well as performing several
other vital functions. - skin
Skin helps to regulate ____ ______. - body temperature
The integumentary system performs
several vital functions: - Protection from pathogens
- Balances fluid levels
