A. form keratin.
B. move calcium and phosphorus into the bones.
C. make blood cells.
D. help the skin tan.

Section: 05.05
76. Along with sweat glands, what actively regulates body temperature?

78. What condition is described by high temperature, low blood pressure, and loss of salts due to profuse
sweating?

B. Heat stroke
C. Fever
D. Hypothermia

Section: 05.05
80. The skin aids the urinary system by excreting water and small amounts of other wastes through
perspiration.
TRUE

Section: 05.05
81. Describe the skin's involvement in temperature regulation.
Blood vessels in the dermis can constrict to receive less blood and conserve heat or dilate to receive more
blood and allow heat to radiate away from the body. Sweat glands remain inactive or secrete sweat. Sweat
carries heat away from the body as it evaporates.

Section: 05.05
82. Describe the effects that long-term exposure to the sun may have on the skin.
The exposure to ultraviolet radiation causes dividing skin cells to become cancerous. UV radiation also causes
aging changes such as rough skin, mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, deep furrows, and benign skin
growths.

Section: 05.05
83. Describe how the skin functions to promote bone development and maintenance.
When skin cells are exposed to UV radiation a precursor molecule in the cells is converted into vitamin D. The
vitamin D travels to the liver and kidneys where it is converted into the hormone calcitriol. Calcitriol regulates
the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, two substances required for the formation of bone matrix.

Section: 05.05
84. Describe how sweat cools the body and explain why sitting in front of a fan cools the body more rapidly.
Sweat absorbs body heat and the evaporation of sweat carries the heat away. Sitting in front of a fan increases
the rate of sweat evaporation.
