and chemical energy – also important for normal tissue growth and

Thyroid hormone
10. The secretory products of endocrine glands? Hormones
11. It is the deepest layer of the epidermis. stratum basale
12. It is the thin middle layer which initiates keratinization (production of keratin)? stratum granulosum
13. Comprise approximately 8% of all epidermal cells. These cells produce a

group of pigments known as melanin which are responsible for skin, hair

and eye color? Melanocytes
14. It receives lymph from the entire body except the right side of the head,

release promoted by this mechanism tends to be rhythmic, with hormone

blood levels rising and falling again and again? hormonal stimulus

20. They are located in the dermis and are usually connected to hair follicles. These glands produce an oily, white substance known as sebum which oils

soft keratin, which keeps the skin elastic and protects underlying cells

and varies in thickness from approximately 0.3 mm on the eyelids to 1.5

mm on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet? Epidermis
24. By product of protein metabolism. Amino groups are removed from amino acids prior to energy conversion. The NH2 (amino group) combines with a hydrogen ion (proton) to form ammonia (NH3)? Deamination
25. Changing blood levels of certain ions and nutrients stimulates hormone release? humoral stimulus
26. How many liters a day of body fluid can a nephron filter? 180
27. It consists of spiny prickle cells that interlock to support the skin. stratum spinosum
28. It regulates the chemical composition of body fluids by removing

nutrients. Components of this system in vertebrates include the kidneys,

spaces. Lymph
31. It is made from highly active lipids found in the cell’s plasma membrane?

Prostaglandins
32. It causes water and solutes from the blood to filter into the capsule?

skin? Keratinocytes
38. It occur at intervals in the course of the lymphatic vessels. They are

They contain lymphocytes, plasma cells and fixed macrophages.

lymphatic nodes
39. It is composed of simple coiled tubular glands that open directly onto the

messenger systems, and are regulated by hormonal stimuli and in most

and their diameter is not uniform figure. lymphatic capillaries
44. It causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the forming urine and

increases blood pressure by causing constriction of the arterioles?

antidiuretic hormone
45. It have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface. These glands
