hypothalamus
Homeostasis is important to vertebrates because:
constant internal environment is important for enzyme and other chemical reactions
The integumentary system is derived from
the ectoderm and mesoderm
Most body systems maintain homeostasis though --- systems; however, consider the situation in which hypertension damages the lining of the arterioles of the kidneys, which results in the release of molecules that further raise blood pressure. In this latter situation, this would be an exa…
negative feedback; positive feedback loop
It's time for a swim. Off to the gym, off with the clothes, on with the basing suit. A nice warm shower to clean off, a stroll out onto a nice warm deck, and then PLUNGE into very warm water. What would be one of the first homeostatic reactions?
the hypothalamus would open the capillary bed of the skin
Mitosis in the epidermis occurs with the --- and keritinzation begins with the ---. Keratin ends up in the ---.
stratum basale; stratum spinosum; stratum corneum
The dermis of the integumentary system is composed mostly of --- and is the location for the extensive capillary network of the firculatory system that is important in homeostatic temperature control (T/F).
connective tissue; true
Lysozyme is secreted by the --- which are located in the epidermis layer of the Integument (T/F)
sebaceous sweat glands; False

extensions of the dermal papillae; Scotland Yard; ~1900
The least common but most malignant form of skin cancer is --- and these cells are part of the ---.
malignant melanoma; stratum basale
Some reports say the incidence of skni cancer has increased in recent years. This increased incidence is often correlated with:
the formation of ozone holes at high altitudes over the poles
Exoskeletons are a great plan, but why are there no insects or crayfish as big as animals with endoskeletons?
Muscles in an exoskeleton cannot grow as large nor produce the energy of a vertebrate system because they are constrained by space and lack a closed circulatory system
(T/F) Both endoskeletons and exoskeletons grow continuously.
