what is contained in the central cavity of a bone marrow
what is formed from additional cells/layers as a result of friction to protect the deeper layers of the skin? callus
type of gland for cooling and excretion of wastes sweat
the layer below the skin which is not really part of the skin subcutaneous layer
the type of tissue the epidermis is made of epithelial tissue
type of gland next to each hair follicle oil gland
functions of the subcutaneous layer support, cushioning, insulation
the study of the organs and structures of the body anatomy
the study of how organs and structures function physiology
**similar to mammals in body systems, characteristics, and physical needs
**different from mammals, being created in the image of God--having immortal souls, and the ability to distinguish right/wrong human
cells-->tissues-->organs-->systems
Cells work together to make up tissues tissues work together to make organs
