|
|
Term
| Why would a person who has oseoporosis be more likely to suffer a broken hip than a broken shoulder? |
|
Definition
| in osteoporosis, a decrease in the calcium content of the body leads to bones that are weak and brittle. Since the hip joint and leg bones must support the weight of the body weakening of these bones may result in insufficient strength to support the body mass, and as a result the bone will break under weight. The shoulder joint is not a load-bearing joint and is not subject to the same great stressers or strong muscles contractions as the hip joint. as a result bones break in the joint less. |

Age can be determined by the size, degree of mineralization, and various marking on the bone. The individual's general appearance can be constructed by looking at the markings where muscle attach to the bones. this can indicate the size, shape of muscle and thus the individual |
|
|
Term
| How would a forensic scientist decided whether a partial skeleton found in the forest is that of a male or female? |

|
|
Term
| The condition of lower than normal longitudinal arches is known as "flatfeet" what structure problem causes flatfeet. |
|
Definition
| The condition known as flatfeet is due to a lower-than normal longitudinal arch in the foot. A weakness in the ligaments and tendons the attach the calcaneus to the distal ends of the metatarsals would most likely contribute to this condition |

|
|
Term
| How does the pigment melanin protect cells from UV radiation? |
|
Definition
| Melanin protects from UV radiation when it is contained in melanosomes close to the surface (corneum) of the epidermis. The melanin is able to absorb the UV rays before they damage the nuclear DNA of the keratinocytes |
|
|
Term
| What accounts for the difference in skin color? |
|
Definition
| Skin colors vary based on the number of melanosomes that are transfered to the stratum granulosomes are larger and travel all the way to the stratum granulosum, but in lighter skinned individuals, the melanosomes are smaller and only make it to the stratum germinativum and spinosum |
|
|
Term
| Describe the process of acquiring a tan. What processes occur in the epidermis? Why isn't a tan permanent? |
|
Definition
| when UV exposure occurs, the melanocytes produce more melanin to protect the skin. Once UV exposures decreases, the melanocytes go back to normal melanin production. The tan is not permanent because the skin sheds its surface layers |
|
|
Term
| WHy are tattoos permanent when a tan is not? |
|
Definition
| in the case of a tattoo, insoluble ink is injected into the dermal layer, a part of the skin that fairly stable and unchanging throughout a person's lifetime. |

|
Term
| Is the epidermis vascular? dermis? what is cutaneous plexus? papillary plexus? |
|
Definition
The epidermis is avascular, while the dermis is vascular.

|
|
Term
| How can the skin help regulate body temperature? |
|
Definition
| the skin regulates body temperature by increasing blood supply to dispel excess heat and decreasing blood supply to retain heat. |
|
|
Term
| what are the dermal papillae and how does that structure create your fingerprints. |
|
Definition
